Beyond the Gala: Year-Round Impact

Each year, the United Way Grays Harbor Black & White Gala brings our community together for an evening of generosity and connection. It’s a reminder of something many of us already know about this place, people here care about their neighbors.

This year over 90 TEEN United Students participated, preparing a 10-course tasting menu for 370 guest helping to net over $100K through the Black & White Gala.

The Gala helps raise vital funds that support programs throughout the year, but it’s only one part of the work happening across Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties.

Real impact happens every day.

Across our region, organizations are mentoring youth, strengthening early learning, supporting families, and helping neighbors navigate difficult seasons of life.

• It’s a cancer patient receiving help with a power bill so they can focus on treatment.

• It’s a survivor of domestic violence gaining the support and life skills needed to rebuild their independence.

• It’s a young person discovering confidence and leadership.

Because of YOU, United Way Grays Harbor helps strengthen the network of programs doing this work across our community. See Your Impact. When neighbors come together to support local efforts, those programs are better able to create stability for families and opportunities for people to move forward.

Help Us Reach the Finish Line

 June 30 is the deadline, 

for gifts that support this year’s community funding decisions.

This year’s campaign has already made strong progress.

We are now working to raise the final $74,820 needed to fund

the programs serving neighbors across Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties.

     If you're able, we invite you to help us finish strong. 

Give Before June 30

Ongoing community support, whether through volunteering, donating goods and services, and monthly giving programs, helps create the stable foundation that allows local organizations to continue serving families year after year.

Because in Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties, we know something simple is true:

Neighbors helping neighbors builds a resilient community where people can truly thrive. United is the way.
