Support Disaster Relief Efforts for Hurricane Harvey

On August 26, 2017 Hurricane Harvey made landfall near Rockport, Texas, as a Category 4 hurricane. The storm has caused catastrophic flooding across much of southeastern Texas. At least 20 United Ways in Texas and Louisiana are in these communities and ready to support disaster relief efforts. To financially contribute to their work please click here to be redirected to United Ways of Texas Disaster Relief Efforts webpage.

Your Gift Creates Impact for Marshallese Youth

Your gift supports efforts that improve how Spokane Public School District engages with youth. This summer, Spokane Public Schools used United Way funding to purchase materials for a Marshallese-style canoe.



"Through this project we hope to better connect to our students' hands-on learning styles and engage them in math, literacy, and hard work in ways which they find meaningful." - Jon Swett, Principal, Shaw Middle School -

This innovative approach earned a story on the front page of The Spokesman Review.
