Over the past several years, the Inland Cleft & Craniofacial Group, formerly Light A Lamp's Cleft & Craniofacial Support program, has partnered with Providence to provide specialty gift baskets and support for children born with cleft lip/cleft palate. Since we began, we've seen the support for these children and their families grow.
Today, Spokane has the Spokane Cleft Team, a team of selfless human beings that truly care about those that struggle with the challenges that come with cleft lip and palate. This team includes Spokane's nurse coordinator, Marsue Chagnon, who has been recognized by Providence for living her values, and constantly goes above and beyond for her patients.
With the support currently available in Spokane, we have made the decision to dissolve the Inland Cleft & Craniofacial Group nonprofit organization. We know individuals and families of children with cleft lip and palate are in wonderful hands with the Spokane Cleft Team, and we encourage you to connect with them Spokane Cleft Team on their Facebook page for support:

About the Inland Cleft and Craniofacial Group
Formerly known as Light A Lamp's Cleft and Craniofacial Support (serving since 2019), the Inland Cleft and Craniofacial Group (ICCG) is a nonprofit organization, founded in July 2024. ICCG provides individual and family support for those born with cleft lip and/or cleft palate conditions, in partnership with the Spokane Cleft Team.
ICCG serves families of children born with craniofacial conditions, i.e. cleft lip and/or cleft palate, in the following ways:

Make sure families in need of specialty feeding kits for babies and children have them

We are planning for additional forms of support in 2025!
