United Way of the Blue Mountains

Who We Are

Since 1940, the United Way of the Blue Mountains and its predecessor organization, The Community Chest, have provided an effective system for supporting local non-profit health and human services in Columbia, Morrow, Umatilla and Walla Walla counties.

The essential elements of this system include:

  • strict budgeting of time and money for efficient administration and operations,
  • volunteer direction and program implementation,
  • rational and systematic fund distribution,
  • a single community-wide fund-raising campaign,
  • and a strong community problem-solving element.

What We Do

United Way is responsive to emerging needs through a donor choice program and a special-projects funding program. Funding supports services that strengthen children, families, and adults, and promote self-sufficiency, build healthy communities, and meet basic human needs. 

One of our greatest strengths is in community building. We are a catalyst for developing partnerships and coalitions to address a wide array of community problems. 

Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.

That’s why United Way’s work is focused on the building blocks for a good life:

  • Health
  • Education
  • Financial Stability
