Our Mission
To increase the capacity of our communities to care for others.
Who We Are
United Way is a movement that began as a community fund in Denver in 1887 to help families who were falling on hard times in the Old West. Today there are 1,400 United Way organizations across the USA. Each United Way is an independent, autonomous, locally governed entity serving its local area. The United Way of Umatilla and Morrow Counties was created and incorporated in 1953. For more than 56 years we have helped fund local health and human service programs and have advocated for volunteering and voluntary giving through workplace payroll deduction programs.
What We Do
United Way brings together community resources to focus on key problems and issues that Umatilla and Morrow County residents face and invests in solutions to those problems. Through over 20 local health and human service agencies, United Way's partnership connects the community to ensure people find the help they need.
