Verified Ways to Help

Established organizations working the Inland Northwest response. Give through their own pages. Each link goes straight to the organization.

Scam warning: disasters attract fraud. Never wire money, send gift cards, or pay upfront for "debris removal" or "insurance help" from anyone who contacts you unsolicited. Donate only through an organization's own official website, typed in yourself.
