Christmas Bureau Volunteers

 
Since 1945, the Christmas Bureau has been providing holiday assistance for those less fortunate in the community. The program, funded by donations from businesses and individuals, offers grocery store gift certificates, books and toys for children, and some much needed holiday cheer for those in need. The Christmas Bureau was a huge success last year, it provided assistance to more than 26,000 people, once again serving as a shining example of the generosity and compassion of the Spokane Community.


The Christmas Bureau 2018 volunteer schedule is full.  If you would like to apply to volunteer in 2019 please fill out the volunteer application and you will be contacted in early October of 2019.
