Floodwaters have receded across much of Whatcom County, and our neighbors are actively focused on recovery. Frontline partners continue responding to evolving needs, and the Whatcom Community Foundation is mobilizing funding to ensure vital resources reach the organizations providing direct assistance.
Give HERE> Nonprofits involved in flood response or impacted by flooding should get in touch. Individuals and families can request help directly at www.whatcomstrong.com
Nonprofit Flood Relief Request HERE> While we focus on Whatcom’s recovery, we’re also thinking of our neighbors in Skagit. You can support their local relief efforts through the Skagit Community Foundation.
