CLINE'S CHRISTMAS DRIVE · 2026

Adopt a
FAMILY

The Spokane Complex Fire destroyed 615 primary homes in Spokane County this August. This Christmas, Cline’s is bringing our community together so the families who lost their homes still have something under the tree.

CAMPAIGN DETAILS

FOR FAMILIES

Lost your home in the fire?

Tell us a little about your family and what’s on everyone’s wish list. We’ll match you with a neighbor who wants to make this Christmas a good one.

FOR DONORS

Want to help a neighbor?

Adopt a whole family and shop their wish list, or drop off new, unwrapped gifts and gift cards. Every gift goes to a Spokane family rebuilding after the fire.

HOW IT WORKS

From wish list to Christmas morning

Families apply

Fill out the application below or pick up a paper copy at our Home Idea Show booth.

We confirm eligibility

Our team checks your prior address and one document, then reaches out by phone or email.

Donors adopt

A donor is matched with your family and shops the wish list. Donors see first names and wishes only, never your address.

Gifts go home

Gifts are due by December 21. We’ll contact families to pick up at our Spokane Valley office from December 14th – December 21st.

ELIGIBILITY

Who can apply

Your family lost its primary residence in the Spokane Complex Fire (Old Trails, Autumn Lane or Fairview fire, August 2026). Renters and homeowners both qualify.
You currently live in the Spokane area. Temporary housing counts.
One application per household, submitted by an adult (18+) in the home.
Applications are accepted through November 27th or until all spots are filled.

How we confirm your address

To keep gifts going to families who were affected, we ask for any one of these showing the address you lost:

Your privacy matters. Cover any account numbers before you send it. Documents are used only to confirm eligibility and deleted when the drive ends. We never ask for Social Security numbers, immigration status or income. Rather not upload? Show it to us in person at our office or booth.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Three ways to give

Adopt a family

We’ll match you with a family and send their first names, ages, sizes and wish list. Great for coworkers, churches, teams and neighbors pooling together.

Donate new, unwrapped gifts

Toys for kids and teens, and gifts the whole family can enjoy. Unwrapped lets us match each gift to the right family.

Give gift cards

Grocery, gas and big-box store cards help families replace everyday essentials they lost in the fire.
