When businesses invest locally, everyone benefits. Through their involvement with Cape and Islands United Way, Cape Save is helping ensure families have access to the resources they need to thrive.

We’ll leave the tricks to the ghosts and goblins! At CIUW, we’re focused on the good stuff: neighbors showing up for neighbors and communities coming together to make a difference.

Happy Halloween from all of us at CIUW! 🎃

And the 2026 “It Bag” goes to... Debra Pane! 🎉👜

Debra’s name was drawn at this year’s Power of the Purse at the Hyannis Port Club, and we couldn’t be happier for her. Congratulations, Debra!

A huge thank you to everyone who entered the raffle and joined us for the evening. Proceeds support Women United, which creates opportunities for women and families with young children across the Cape and Islands. Together, you made a real impact. 💛

For one family, it might mean putting food on the table when the grocery budget runs short. For another, it might mean finding stable housing after months of uncertainty. It could mean a child having the support they need to succeed in school, a parent finding a path toward financial stability, or an older neighbor getting connected to the services they need.

These moments may look different from family to family, but they have something in common: community support can change what comes next.

CIUW works alongside local nonprofits, businesses, volunteers, and donors to help make sure individuals and families across the Cape and Islands have opportunities to move forward. Because a stronger community isn't built in one big moment. It's built every day, when we choose to show up for one another.

What if doing good for our community could also be good for business?

Business United brings local businesses together to turn their resources, relationships, and influence into meaningful community impact across the Cape & Islands. From supporting critical needs to investing in stronger communities, Business United is a way for businesses to move beyond the day-to-day and help shape the place we all call home.

What a night! ✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable, Bridgerton-inspired evening at Power of the Purse. From the stunning handbags and spirited bidding to the incredible generosity in the room, we were reminded of just how powerful a community can be when it comes together.

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and every guest who helped make the evening such a success. Your support helps the Cape & Islands United Way continue investing in critically needed programs and services across Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket.

Until next season, dear reader… thank you for being part of the magic. 💜

What a day!

Thank you to everyone who showed up, rolled up their sleeves, and took action during last week's Day of Action. From volunteers to community partners, every helping hand contributed to something bigger.

Days like this are a reminder that when we come together, we can create meaningful change right here at home. Thank you for being part of it. ❤️
