The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

To The Eagle:

If you need help with providing Christmas gifts for your children up through the age of 17, please fill out an application or contact our Star Program phone at 360-431-5232. All calls will be handled discreetly. This is a needs-based program.

After Friday, October 29 you may pick up applications at either the Sheriff’s office or Health and Human Services on Elochoman Valley road. They must be returned no later than November 23.

Because of the Covid pandemic restrictions, there probably will be more needs this year. We would like to ask the residents of Wahkiakum County to please take stars or monetarily donate.

Monetary donations are greatly appreciated and needed to provide for the stars that are not taken so the children in need will have a merry Christmas this year. You may leave donations at The Bank of the Pacific in Cathlamet.

Trees will be up at local businesses from November 22 to December 13. Presents will be ready for pick up from December 13 through December 17.

The trees will be in Bank of the Pacific, Cathlamet Pharmacy, Scribbles, The Video Store, The Duck Inn, and Skamokawa Store.

Gifts must be returned by December 13 to the place where the stars were picked up.

Thank you for helping us to serve the children of Wahkiakum County.
