What we do today will determine how we LIVE UNITED tomorrow.

Key nonprofits, community leaders, businesses and philanthropists across the state have joined together to launch All In WA, a coordinated, statewide relief effort that will support workers and families who have been acutely affected by the COVID-19 crisis. At launch, the effort had already raised $20 million toward a $65 million goal to be met in coming months. All In WA flags have been raised in six sites across the state to show support. You can see Spokane's flag at the Spokane County Court House.

 

“Washington state was at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic, and our state will be at the forefront of a safe recovery," Governor Inslee said. "All In WA is helping to fill the gaps in funding across the state to provide relief to those who are suffering and to lay the groundwork to restart our economy in a safe, supported and sensible way. I’d like to thank Jeff Bezos for his pledge to match donations, and all the other generous donors and businesses who are making this possible.” Amazon's founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has committed $25 million in matched donations.

Efforts to raise funds include a virtual concert on June 10, featuring Pearl Jam, Macklemore, Brandi Carlile, Ciara, Russell Wilson, The Black Tones, Dave Matthews, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Pete Carroll, Mary Lambert, Joel McHale, Ben Gibbard, and Allen Stone with the full lineup to be announced at a later date.

Our local nonprofit partners provide essential services every day for our community. During these difficult times the demand and need has grown. To help them meet the needs of our community, many nonprofits are requesting face mask donations.

One of our partners sent in this request:

As a local non-profit whose budgets have been severely impacted by COVID-19 (just like everyone else) we are in search of at least 250 donated fabric face masks.  They will be for staff and clients to use when we resume face-to-face meetings for foster care, mental health counseling, and crime victim services.
