Communities across the Pacific Northwest are facing extraordinary challenges in the wake of recent disasters. Your gift to the United Ways of the Pacific Northwest Disaster Recovery Fund provides critical support to individuals and families as they recover, rebuild, and move forward.

2026 has brought one of the most severe wildfire seasons on record to Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Fast-moving fires have destroyed homes in Spokane and Grant County, WA; burned more than a million acres and forced the evacuation of entire communities, including the Warm Springs Reservation, across Central and Eastern Oregon; and prompted a wildfire disaster emergency in Idaho, where hundreds of homes remain threatened near the Oregon border. Thousands of families have been displaced, and many ranchers and rural residents have lost not only their homes but their livelihoods. The need for emergency shelter, essential supplies, and long-term rebuilding support is urgent and ongoing.

Your generosity helps ensure that United Ways and trusted local partners can respond quickly to urgent needs—while also investing in long-term recovery efforts that restore stability, dignity, and hope for those most impacted.

United Ways of the Pacific Northwest is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization. Your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by U.S. law.
