Cancer Patient Care

• Monetary contributions from individuals, companies and organizations. The number of cancer patients needing emergency assistance in greater Spokane has almost doubled since 2008!
• Volunteers – individuals or teams are needed. We are launching a new Volunteer Development Program in January. Contact Julie Sheldon, Volunteer Coordinator to learn how to help.
• Gift Cards for gas or groceries. We provide this kind of assistance and many need more help than our resources allow. This would especially help those patients who must drive great distances for treatment or who have extreme economic hardship.

Inland Northwest Blood Center (INBC)

• Blood and platelet donors: as the sole supplier of blood to our region, we are constantly in need of donors to supply blood to the more than 35 hospitals that we serve.
• Financial Support: As a not-for-profit, 501 (C) (3) organization, The Inland Northwest Blood Center relies on the generosity of individuals, corporations, civic organizations, and foundations to support marrow donor tissue typing for the National Marrow Donor Program ($100 per donor), blood mobile and vehicle program to keep blood mobiles and collection vehicles in our community, and technology that assists INBC’s therapeutic procedures in our local hospitals.
• Public Awareness Support: Because INBC serves such a large territory (approximately a 150 mile radius), we rely on local media, business, donors, volunteers and community ambassadors to help spread the word about our mission to save lives and the importance of donation.  We are constantly looking for different opportunities and venues to get the word out and community assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
