United Way of Whatcom County does not offer direct services to the public but helps fund critical agencies that provide basic needs, increase financial stability, and break cycles of poverty in our community. United Way of Whatcom County also administers and funds Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for all of Whatcom County, providing monthly books to all enrolled children from birth to age five at no cost to families. United Way is the go-to organization regarding ALICE research, a rich data report that breaks down what financial hardship looks like by state, county, and even zip code, focusing on households that make more than the federal poverty level but not enough to make ends meet. United Way conducts a community-wide fundraising campaign to support vital programs and services that help over 50,000 Whatcom County residents each year.
United Way of Whatcom County
United Way of Whatcom County funds a comprehensive network of local nonprofits that provide basic needs like food, housing, and mental health services; increase economic mobility through education, job skills, and training; and help break the cycle of poverty by removing barriers like violence, abuse, and addiction that keep families from being successful from generation to generation. Our goal is to create a community where everyone has access to the tools and opportunities they need to achieve financial independence and stability. United Way of Whatcom County also funds and administers Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Whatcom County, a low-barrier early learning program that provides access to brand-new, age-appropriate books for all enrolled children from birth to age five.
