United Way of Central Washington

United Way of Central Washington is a local organization, serving Yakima and Kittitas counties. We're committed to using donations wisely, locally and effectively to make a positive difference in the lives of people in our community, creating a healthier community for us all. Last year, our partner agencies served more than 130,000 people, more than 1 in 3! Help comes in many forms, and our system of caring helps people from birth to senior, families and individuals get the support and tools they need to live better lives. More than 17,000 people throughout our community support United Way each year, and give countless hours to serving our region. During the 2019-2020 campaign United Way of Central Washington raised nearly $1.3 million in support of the community. These funds were distributed by a group of 50 community volunteers and will support more than 60 programs at 54 local non-profits that have efficient and effective programs. With your help, United Way has the unique ability, individually and collectively, to achieve broad civic goals that no single donor, citizen, nonprofit or charity could accomplish alone. Dedicated community volunteers provide the leadership. Caring partner agency staff members provide the support. It's a winning combination!

Siblings Together

There are 40,000 brothers and sisters in care in the UK living separated from each other, with another 4,000 newly separated each year These children have a fundamental right to choose contact with their brothers or sisters, and government surveys confirm contact is a top priority for them. Unfortunately, contact for separated siblings is generally infrequent, and when it does happen, the quality of contact offered is often poor. Siblings Together is the only charity whose aim is to promote positive contact between brothers and sisters separated by the UK care system. We tackle the huge injustice of sibling separation by running a range of programmes including week long residential camps and monthly activity days for separated brothers and sisters, and a "buddies" project to support individual sibling groups in meeting up. Our programmes provide a safe, secure and relaxed environment where children can have fun and spend quality time with their brothers and sisters. For many of us, our sibling relationships are the longest we ever experience. Our work not only responds to what children themselves want whilst they are in care, but also helps them build the long term network of support that we all need for a happy and successful life. We also campaign for changes in policy in practice in the care system, so a much higher priority is given throughout the system to responding to children's wish to see more of their brothers and sisters.
