Supporting Local Nonprofit Organizations, Strengthening Our Community

The United Way of the Columbia Gorge General Fund is dedicated to supporting a network of local nonprofit organizations that address the most pressing needs in our community. Your contribution helps fund initiatives that provide critical services in three key areas:

Basic Human Needs:

We support efforts that provide food, housing, and transportation for medical needs, as well as increasing self-sufficiency. This includes supporting food banks and backpack programs that ensure children and families have access to healthy meals, especially during times of crisis. By helping individuals and families access housing, jobs, and treatment services, we strive to ensure that basic needs are met and that people can lead healthier, more independent lives.

Protection:

United Way works to keep families safe, focusing on the protection of our most vulnerable citizens. Our partnerships with local nonprofits provide vital resources to reduce isolation and offer support for victims of abuse, domestic violence, and other crises. We are committed to making sure that no one in our community faces hardship alone.

Youth on Track:

We focus on helping youth develop the skills they need to make responsible choices, succeed academically, and contribute positively to society. Literacy is an important part of these efforts, as we work to improve reading and writing skills to ensure youth have the tools they need to succeed. By investing in education and life skills, we aim to empower young people to become responsible, productive, and caring members of the Columbia Gorge community.

Every donation to the United Way of the Columbia Gorge General Fund is an investment in the long-term health and prosperity of our community. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient Columbia Gorge for all.
