Each of the Amazon Wishlists below have items that will greatly enhance the way people with intellectual and developmental disabilities experience the services and programs we provide. When you purchase an item off our list, it is automatically sent to the program who requested it and is considered a tax-deductible gift in-kind.

Community Center Wishlist | The Community Center provides a place of belonging and a launchpad into the Spokane community with its daily outings. Items on the wishlist provide the supplies necessary to continue providing members with unique, fun, and person-centered activities.

Supported Living Wishlist | The residents we serve in supported living either rent, lease, or own the homes they live in. With the freedom to live, work, and socialize as they want, community-based living allows individuals independence and choice. However, many residents have limited funding to pursue activities or hobbies that can be cost-prohibitive. Purchasing items off this list allows residents the opportunity to expand their skills in activities they already enjoy or pursue new skills they are interested in.
