The Resilient Families Fund

When families face unexpected challenges, we step in to help.

The Resilient Families Fund provides immediate support for essential needs, including groceries, rent, utilities, and other emergency expenses. Flexible, fast, and focused on keeping families stable, this fund allows United Way of the Columbia-Willamette to respond quickly to whatever challenges arise.

At United Way of the Columbia-Willamette, we also believe every family deserves the security of a safe and stable home. The Resilient Families Fund directly supports housing stability programs - providing eviction prevention, rental and utility assistance, and critical support to keep families in their homes. 

United is the Way we can ensure more of our neighbors remain safe, secure, and strong. Join us today at UnitedWay-PDX.org/Resilient.
