As we mark the 30th anniversary of the Christmas Wish program, its initiative is spreading across all seven Morgan Murphy Media Group radio stations in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, broadening its reach and impact throughout the region.
Christmas Wish aims to provide needy families in the community with goods and services they may need at Christmas time. For some families, this may mean paying an overdue utility bill, a set of snow tires for another, baby items, or food for yet another. The Christmas Wish program attempts to make Christmas a bit brighter for those families who have fallen on hard times due to illness, layoffs, financial difficulties, or other trying circumstances. Christmas wishes are granted both on the air and off the air. Approximately 20-25 wishes are granted on the air, and often, several hundred receive a gift certificate for grocery items through the mail.
