October 15, 2025 - Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest

It’s hard to believe, but the holidays are coming up and Jamieween is just around the corner!

This year, we’re trying to be more proactive about getting everything we need for the upcoming celebrations: Jamieween, Chimpmas, birthdays, and all the fun enrichment and day-to-day supplies the chimpanzees love and rely on. So please keep your eyes peeled—starting this week, I’ll be adding holiday items to our Amazon Wish List!

While Amazon is a big part of our wish list planning, we also want to highlight Jerrol’s, our amazing local store here in Ellensburg. Jerrol’s has been incredibly supportive and helpful, supplying us with almost all of our cleaning products. However, they also have arts and crafts materials, books, and more! If they don’t have a product we’re looking for, they go out of their way to find it for us. They’ve been such a reliable partner, especially as we continue to have issues with Amazon not shipping certain items to our address. You can support us through our Jerrol’s Wish List, or donate to our bill, which allows us to get exactly what the chimps and the staff need.

As some of you may have noticed, Amazon has been a little difficult lately. If you try to purchase something from our Amazon Wish list and get a message such as:

“This item can’t be shipped to the selected address”

Don’t worry! Here are a couple of options:

Try using our PO Box address:
- Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
- Po Box 952 Cle Elum, WA 98922
OR purchase an Amazon gift card instead and send it to us at [email protected] and we can buy items off the list

I want to express how grateful we are for all of you and say thank you so much for being part of our community. Your support, whether it’s buying something off our list, sending a gift card, or just cheering us on, it helps make every day, and every holiday, special for the chimpanzees! Thank you!

Here are a few teasers of items to look out for on our Wish Lists!
