From all of us at United Way of Whatcom County we wish you all the best for this festive time of year. Thanks to our supporters many local families will have food on the table and a roof overhead this holiday season. Thanks for making great things happen for our community all year long!

There are so many amazing organizations and individuals helping to make our 2016 Campaign a success! Like Danielle from the City of Bellingham pictured above. From small local companies to government agencies, and from large corporations to nonprofits, we are thankful for the variety of groups and individuals helping to support our efforts.

This past year donations to United Way of Whatcom County have helped support amazing programs like Project Homeless Connect and 35+ other local programs that helped to ensure kids are ready for school, that teens graduate high school, that families have food on the table and a roof overhead, and that all individuals have access to the ability to live a healthy life free from violence and abuse.

These are your donations at work! Check out some more facts about our work that you might not be aware of:
