United Way of Island County

About

LIVE UNITED

Story

United Way is an organization that brings volunteers, individuals and companies together throughout Island County to mobilize community resources to measurably improve people’s lives. Businesses and individuals can respond to multiple charity requests through one effort and agencies can raise more money much more efficiently than by conducting separate workplace campaigns on their own.

With an annual campaign each fall, United Way of Island County is able to fund twenty partner agencies. The dollars pledged through the fall United Way campaign are collected and distributed the following calendar year to those agencies.

There are United Way agencies and programs you may not have heard of before. What makes United Way so effective is that clients who are served by some of those lesser-known programs do not fall through the cracks. With just one gift, whether you use payroll deduction or write one check, you are helping those in your community.

United Way knows that people like you really want to make a difference in your community. You want to help others. We want to be your partner.

We will bring together people from all across the community, people from government, business, faith groups, nonprofits, and ordinary citizens – to take the issues that matter most.

United Way is focused on the bottom-line results – the lives we change and the communities we shape.
