Who We Are
At United Way of the Columbia-Willamette, we stand behind the idea that each of us has something to give and, in turn, something to receive. Whether we work as a United Way employee, donate money, volunteer our time and talent, or use our voices to set priorities that lift up everyone in our community – we can do more together than we can on our own. What comes back is the excitement and reward of belonging to something big, the gratifying sense that each of us is part of a sea change. We are better together.
United Way leads critical conversations, transforms our communities, and inspires action to create a better home, and sometimes a first home, for everyone who lives here. We want you to join us. We want you to be a part of the United Way team. Together we have the power to create lasting change, to bring those big ideas and big ideals home… for everyone.
