Advocate for United Way
Our goal of financial stability for every person in Whatcom County is a big one.
And we can’t do it without you.
It takes all of us working together to fight for the needs of our struggling friends and neighbors. So, what can you do practically to help change lives in our community?
Take action
Help us holistically address poverty and financial instability by donating to United Way of Whatcom County. One gift to United Way helps change over 50,000 lives annually, helping those who are struggling keep a roof overhead, put food on the table, gain job skills to get to a better place, and more. Every gift, from $10 to $1,000+, has a monumental impact on our community.
Donate to create lasting change right here at home.
