Spread Holiday Cheer with the United Way (13+) *Impact Week*
Volunteer Opportunity
Bring holiday cheer to the community by helping prepare and mail festive cards in a fun, easy volunteer project.
About the Program
At The United Way of the Columbia-Willamette, we believe that every person deserves the opportunity to thrive—regardless of race, income, or zip code. For over 100 years, we've been working alongside local families, nonprofits, and community leaders to build a region rooted in equity, resilience, and opportunity.
Our Focus Areas:
- Early Learning: We connect families to free preschool, parenting resources, and STEM programs—laying the foundation for lifelong success.
- Housing Stability: We help families stay in their homes through eviction defense and financial assistance.
- Disaster & Crisis Resiliency: We prepare and support communities during times of crisis, with a focus on those most impacted.
- Volunteerism: We mobilize thousands of volunteers to strengthen our neighborhoods and amplify local impact.
Together, we’re making a difference for the 42% of households in our region who are working hard but still struggling to make ends meet.
About the Project
Join us for a fun and festive community volunteer project! We’ll gather together to stuff holiday card envelopes, add stamps, and help get a little extra holiday cheer on its way to friends and community members.
No special skills are needed—just bring your helping hands! It’s a simple, enjoyable way to connect with others, lend a hand, and make a difference while enjoying some cheerful conversation and good company.
Where: This event will be held at the United Way of the Columbia-Willamette and Hands On Greater Portland headquarters in downtown Portland.
