Recent wildfires have touched our communities and hundreds of people in Basin City, Kahlotus, Prosser, and Whitstran were evacuated.  Homes and businesses were damaged or lost. Local people are left without shelter and basic supplies like food, clothing and transportation.


2 ways to help local people affected by fire.

1. Click the donate button to give now. 

2. Click Join this event button to help raise funds for this cause, by sharing this page with your friends, family, and coworkers online. Select "individual" to raise funds as yourself. Create a "team" to raise funds as your company/organization. 

You can donate, join this event to fundraise with your peers, or both. We thank you for any and all efforts.


Why this fund? Why now?

All donations stay local to quickly get help to those who need it. When disasters happen, our community pulls together to help. We, United Way of Benton & Franklin Counties, are working with local 501(c)(3) agencies to disperse these funds to help people in Benton & Franklin Counties affected by these fires. 


*Your donation is tax deductible. 

* The CARES Act allows you to deduct up to $300 in donations even if you take the standard deduction; married, filing-jointly taxpayers get a $600 deduction.
