THANK YOU for your generosity, Jefferson County. ❤️

Together, you raised over $529,000 through this year’s Give Jefferson campaign. That is neighbors showing up for neighbors in the most powerful way.

This year’s United Good Neighbors Give Jefferson motto said it all:

✨ The Need Is Now. The Answer Is Us! ✨

And you proved it.

Thank you for being part of that “us.”
For stepping up during a time of real state and federal budget cuts.
For caring for our most vulnerable neighbors.
For standing with the programs and people delivering food, housing, health, and basic needs across Jefferson County.

Because of you, local organizations can keep their doors open, respond to urgent needs, and continue building a stronger, more resilient community.

From all of us at United Good Neighbors—thank you for showing what’s possible when a community comes together.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for this generous, resilient community.
THE TIME IS NOW. THE ANSWER IS US.

Thank you for showing up, giving local, and believing in each other. 💪💙

🎉 It’s Crystie’s Birthday! 🎉
And this year, all she wants is… for our community to show a little love to Give Jefferson. 💛

In true “neighbors helping neighbors” spirit, Crissy and Crystie teamed up for this wonderfully silly photo—because when it comes to supporting 28 local nonprofits facing real impacts from state and federal budget cuts, we’re willing to be a little goofy if it helps spread the word.

Every gift makes a difference. Truly. No amount is too small to help ensure that people across Jefferson County—from Port Townsend to Chimacum, Quilcene to Brinnon—have access to food, shelter, mental health support, and other essential services.

So if you’re looking for a way to make Crystie’s birthday shine a little brighter…
