Upcoming Seasonal Opportunities


Giving Tuesday: December 1st 2026 

Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity, taking place the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, that inspires people to come together and drive positive change by supporting the causes and communities they care about most.


This year, Giving Tuesday is on December 2nd. As a small non-profit serving just Whatcom and Skagit County, every bit makes such a difference for the kids and families we serve. We hope you think about donating to or getting involved with Blue Skies for Children this Giving Tuesday.

2026 Giving Tree

Our Giving Tree program makes the holidays special for local children by funding wishes for warm coats, new shoes, and sponsoring enrichment activities.


Interested in contributing to a local child's wish this holiday season? Stay tuned for a map of all our locations this winter. Trees will start going out the first week of December.

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.

Has the Chance to Shine
