Thank you to all of the people across King County who are giving $10 and more to help their neighbors in need. Thanks to generosity we can help struggling families and individuals keep their lights on, put food on the table and stay in their homes. 

We still need to raise $8,380 to meet our online fundraising goal! Please give $10 and ask 10 of your friends, family members and colleagues to join you. Need some inspiration? Take a look at some of these quotes about giving from great leaders and thinkers.

Many of these quotes are painted on the walls of United Way of King County’s office.
