Ways You Can Help
Give money, drop off supplies, or lend your time. Every bit reaches your neighbors.

Drop Off Supplies in Person
These locations are accepting physical donations. Call ahead or check the org’s site for current hours and their most-needed items, since needs change day to day.
Please don’t drop donations at fire stations or incident command. Per Spokane County Emergency Management, stations are locked down to keep bays clear for emergency vehicles, and crews already have what they need. Use the community drop-off spots below instead.

Before You Give: Avoid the Scams
- Disasters attract fraud. The City of Spokane created its donation portal specifically to give people a trusted, scam-free way to help.
- Stick to the established funds and organizations listed above. Be cautious with individual fundraisers you see shared on Instagram, Facebook, or by text, especially from accounts you don’t know.
- Never give a card number, gift card, or crypto to anyone who contacts you unsolicited claiming to collect for fire victims.
- If a fundraiser can’t clearly say who the money goes to and how, don’t give.
