This is what $4.08 million looks like!

💌 Checks are OFFICIALLY hitting the mail—your Valley Giving Guide generosity is on its way to the nonprofits that keep Umatilla, Walla Walla, Columbia, and Garfield counties smiling, singing, fed, housed, and hopeful.

You turned year-end giving into year-round impact:
- More than meals on tables and roofs over heads
- More than art, music, and after-school smiles
- More than crisis response and quiet, behind-the-scenes care

Huge thanks to:
- YOU, our spectacular community of donors
- Our incredible local nonprofits doing the daily work
- United Way of the Blue Mountains and our AMAZING sponsors making sure more than every dollar raised goes right back into our communities

This is community magic in motion. Drop a 🎉 in the comments and tag a nonprofit you cannot wait to see open their Valley Giving Guide check!
