Wild Fact About Me
My Philosophy United Way of the Columbia Willamette is committed to changing lives through initiatives that guarantee long-term solutions. United Way brings people and resources together, leverages your dollars, and gets results. United Way helps people who are most in need and face multiple challenges. Your contributions to United Way provide funding in three key areas: Successful Kids, Health and Wellness, and Tools for Independence. United Way also sponsors 211info and provides funding to support diversity, volunteerism, and capacity development for nonprofit organizations.
What Gives Me Hope Our work with East County One Stop and the DBA Association for Business Owners with Disabilities is one example. People with disabilities who want to start their own businesses now have access to resources that can help them develop their business idea. From creating a business plan to finding financing, help is available to entrepreneurs who want to get ahead.

With your help, we are able to help Tom, who had a car accident and now uses a wheelchair. Through a United Way program, he got startup funding and support to turn his idea for an EZ Hiker one-wheeled chair for people with disabilities. Now, he is able to support himself with a thriving business, while also helping others
