Raising Hope and Self Esteem

in young hearts and minds

Preparing for Back to School!

Look out for the blue bins around town! Blue Skies is partnering with the Opportunity Council to help local K-12 students prepare for the back-to-school season. Starting July 6th, we will have placed blue collection receptacles at businesses throughout Bellingham to gather brand-new shoes. Plus, mark your calendars for Stuff the Bus on August 3rd, where we will be collecting coats to take advantage of off-season sales!

For more than 25 years, Blue Skies for Children has supported homeless, low-income, and foster children across Whatcom and Skagit Counties with the essentials and enrichment opportunities they need to feel confident, capable, and included. Through Little Wishes grants, ongoing activity sponsorships, and essential support programs, we help children ages 6–18 participate fully in school, sports, the arts, and everyday childhood experiences. Rooted in equity, compassion, and community partnership, we are committed to ensuring every child feels valued, and never left behind.
