Workplace Campaigns Off to a Great Start

In August, campaign coordinators from local companies came to United Way to get useful tips on running a successful United Way campaign.

Volunteers who attended the campaign training came from a wide variety of organizations, including AT&T Mobility, Bank of America, Clean Water Services, Far West Fibers, JCPenney, Nationwide, Norm Thompson Outfitters, Tuality Healthcare Foundation, and more. About 30 businesses and nonprofits were represented at the training.

Many thanks to more than 40 volunteers who took time to learn about running a successful campaign. Your leadership and support are truly valuable in kicking off our community campaign to a great start. By giving your time and talent, spreading the word, and bringing your unique strengths and skills to the campaign, you are helping to advance the common good. We can't thank you enough for all that you do.

Intel Oregon Volunteers Help Clean a Family Shelter

Intel Oregon employees and staff from the United Way of the Columbia-Willamette worked together on a "done-in-a day" project at the Community Action Hillsboro Family Crisis Shelter. The team came together to do a deep cleaning of the shelter, which involved heavy scrubbing and cleaning of interior with some yard work on the exterior of the shelter.
