Our Work

Serving Yakima and Kittitas Counties in Central Washington

Our Mission

Provide leadership in mobilizing the community to raise and invest funds to meet human needs in Central Washington.

Our Vision

Be the leading community resource that meets the human needs of Central Washington.

Through United Way’s community programs and partner agencies, we reach 1 in 3 people living right here in Yakima and Kittitas Counties. People you know -- living in your neighborhood, going to your kids’ schools, working alongside you every day.

Together, we ensure that more kids go to bed with their bellies full and more adults have a job to go to in the morning. We make sure there's support for a person who's been given a life-altering diagnosis. We're there when disaster strikes.

We help people by funding more than 75 effective and efficient programs at 50 local nonprofits, by bringing individuals and organizations together to solve problems, by mobilizing volunteers.

We help charities become stronger. We help people become stronger. We provide the building blocks for a better community and a better life.
