Mission
At United Way of the Columbia-Willamette (UWCW), we envision an Oregon and Southwest Washington where every child and family - regardless of geography, race, or family incomehas a stable foundation and access to the resources and support necessary to thrive.Grounded in the needs and lived experiences of people in our region, we believe that early and consistent support for families reduces childhood trauma, improves educational outcomes, increases economic mobility, and strengthens communities. In response to growing datasets that highlight the challenges ALICE households face (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), our work is increasingly focused on supporting individuals and families who earn above the federal poverty line yet still struggle to afford life's basic necessities.
