United Way of Central Oregon

Invest in United Way. Help Central Oregon thrive.

We’ve evolved. United Way isn’t just funding programs—we’re now serving the community directly, meeting urgent needs and building long-term stability.

1 in 3 Central Oregon households—about 30,000 families—struggles to meet basic needs. You can change that. Your support moves children, families, and neighbors from surviving to thriving.

Your investment powers programs in:

  • Housing Stabilization
  • Eviction Prevention
  • Food Insecurity
  • Homelessness
  • Financial Stability
  • Transportation
  • Health & Hygiene
  • Disaster Resilience

The reality:

  • 34% of Central Oregonians are ALICE—working but unable to cover essentials.
  • Oregon ranks worst in family homelessness.

Our impact together:

  • Resilient Families Fund: Immediate help with food, rent, utilities.
  • Ride United: Free rides to work, school, healthcare, groceries, and essentials.
  • CARES: Supplies and dignity through collection drives and laundry services.
  • Coalition to End Family Homelessness: Driving systemic change statewide.
  • Disaster Resilience: Relief and resources for wildfires, storms, and emergencies.
  • Grantmaking: Funding nonprofits that provide emergency food and shelter. 

When families thrive, our community thrives. Your gift matters. Your support fuels change. United is the Way.
