One of our favorite things about Yakima is the generosity of spirit and treasure that exists. Likewise, there are so many worthy organizations working hard to make our community a better place for everyone. We want to make it easy to find organizations that inspire you, so we partnered with Sagebrush Kids to create a Give Local List* for the Yakima Valley.
Take a look, reach out and ask how you or your family can help, or head to justserve.org and see if there are any available volunteer opportunities to fill. Also, a donation is an extremely helpful way to help many organizations.
(*The Give Local List is by no means comprehensive. Holler at us here with a nomination or your information.)
