💙 Thank You, Oregon Community Foundation! 💙

United Way of Northwest Oregon is incredibly grateful to Oregon Community Foundation for their generous $16,410 contribution to enhance volunteer engagement throughout our region!

Volunteers are the heart of our communities. Their time, talents, and dedication help local organizations meet critical needs and create lasting, positive change. This investment will help us strengthen volunteer engagement and build connections that make it easier for people to give back and make a difference across Columbia, Clatsop, and Tillamook counties.

We’re proud to partner with organizations that believe in the power of community and the impact we can make when we work together. Thank you, Oregon Community Foundation, for helping us build a stronger, more connected Northwest Oregon!

🌎🥕 World Food Day: Celebrating the People Who Help Feed Our Communities

On World Food Day, we’re celebrating the incredible organizations working every day to make sure our neighbors have access to nutritious food, dignity, and support when they need it most.

Across Northwest Oregon, our partner agencies are meeting food needs in ways that are deeply local and deeply personal:
Hope of Rainier
Turning Point
Vernonia Cares
Clatskanie Farmers Collective-Power of Produce Program
Clatsop Community Action

Food security is about more than having something to eat. It’s about health, stability, dignity, and knowing that your community cares about you.

At United Way of Northwest Oregon, we’re proud to partner with organizations like these that are on the ground, close to the people they serve, and working every day to make our region stronger.

Today, we celebrate them — and everyone who grows, donates, distributes, prepares, and shares food with our neighbors. ❤️

Mental Health Matters — At Work, At Home & In Our Communities**

For many of us, work is a big part of our lives. It can be a place where we find purpose, connection, and community — but it can also be a source of stress, pressure, and burnout.

This World Mental Health Day, United Way of Northwest Oregon is encouraging employers, employees, and community members to make mental health part of the conversation.

Sometimes supporting mental health looks like:
✨ Checking in with a coworker
✨ Taking a real lunch break
✨ Setting healthy boundaries
✨ Asking for help when you need it
✨ Creating a workplace where people feel safe speaking up
✨ Remembering that rest is productive, too

A healthy community starts with healthy people. When people have the support they need to care for their mental and emotional well-being, families, workplaces, and communities are stronger.

Today, take a moment to check in — with yourself and with someone else.

Thank You, Georgia-Pacific Mill! 💙

United Way of Northwest Oregon is incredibly grateful for our longstanding partnership with Georgia-Pacific Mill. Your commitment to our region goes far beyond the workplace—you provide family-wage jobs that support local families and strengthen our communities, while consistently giving back through your annual toilet paper donations to help meet essential needs across our region.

Your generosity and continued partnership make a meaningful difference for local families and nonprofit organizations. We are proud to work alongside a community partner that understands the importance of investing in both people and place.

Thank you, Georgia-Pacific Mill, for being such a wonderful and dependable partner to our community year after year!
