Spokane County United Way’s purpose is to bring people together to LIVE UNITED in order to meet the challenges that we are facing today and prepare for a better tomorrow. Thank you for the passion each and every one of you brings to this work every day. You are United Way and I am honored to be part of this incredible team.
This year we celebrate our 100th anniversary serving our community. For me, I feel humbled to be part of such a historic moment and know that together we are laying the ground work for the next 100 plus years.
Our work together is important. Because of us United Way is able to support 30 local nonprofits that emphasize equity and inclusion to provide safe homes free of child abuse, neglect, and domestic violence, increase graduation rates so youth are ready to thrive, and improve financials stability to prevent hunger and homelessness.
Our team provides tremendous support to our community through additional efforts and grant funding that can be seen through our work with ALICE, AmeriCorps VISTA, Anchor Community Initiative, Built for Zero, Excelerate Success, Free Tax Preparation and VITA, Spokane CASH Coalition, and Spokane Gives.
I thank you for being a part of the work and a part of the trusted giving experience with United Way. Your financial gift is an important part of supporting our work, each other, and our nonprofit community.
I ask that you carefully consider your gift. Your support and commitment are valued, and essential. I truly thank each of you for welcoming me into this work with you and ask you to join me in making a financial contribution.
Sincerely,
John Dickson
President and CEO, Spokane County United Way
