$351,948 Raised Through United Way for the Nippon Fund Since June!
Today, United Way of Cowlitz & Wahkiakum Counties joined the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers (AWPPW), and the Longshoremen's Credit Union for the fifth ceremonial check presentation in support of the Nippon Fund.
In October, our community contributed $40,617, bringing the total raised through United Way since June to $351,948 to support families impacted by the Nippon Dynawave tragedy. The October donations have been transferred to the Longshoremen's Credit Union.
United Way of Cowlitz & Wahkiakum Counties has not retained any administrative fees for collecting, processing, or transferring these donations. Our role has been to help ensure that the generosity of our community reaches those it is intended to support.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared our message, and continued to stand alongside our neighbors during this difficult time.
This is what it means to be Community United.
