Still time to make Christmas Fund donations

Today is the last day to donate online to this year’s Christmas Fund.

Readers can donate via PayPal at spokesman.com/sections/christmas-fund . PayPal deducts a small amount for its services.

The Spokesman-Review seeks donations to pay the bills at the Christmas Bureau, which distributes grocery vouchers, toys and books to families in need. The bureau is organized by the Volunteers of America, Catholic Charities Spokane and the newspaper.

The bureau served more than 35,000 people this year.

Donations also can be dropped off at the newspaper’s offices or mailed. Those donations must be received by Tuesday to be counted in this year’s tally.

To give by mail: Send to The Spokesman-Review Christmas Fund, P.O. Box 516, Spokane, WA 99210.

To give in person: Drop off donations in the lobbies of The Spokesman-Review offices in downtown Spokane, 999 W. Riverside Ave., or Coeur d’Alene, 608 Northwest Blvd., Suite 200.
