At Cascade Car Exchange, we believe in the power of giving back to our community. By participating in the United Way Workplace Giving Campaign, employees have a unique opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of those around us. Whether you choose to donate your vehicle, contribute through payroll deductions, or make a one-time gift, your generous support goes directly to critical local services and programs that address education, health, and stability.
Starting your contributions is straightforward. You can donate your vehicle directly to a qualifying local United Way chapter or an agency they support. With each donation, you will receive a 1098-C form for your records, and your contribution can also be attributed to your workplace campaign for chapter credit and potential employer matching funds if available. Together, we can amplify our impact and strengthen our community.

×Impact multiplier
Your contributions through the United Way can significantly multiply the impact of your giving. For every dollar donated, our local United Way chapter leverages funds to support essential services covering education, health programs, and financial stability, creating a ripple effect in the community. For instance, if your vehicle donation valued at $5,000 qualifies for a match, it could unlock an additional $5,000, effectively benefiting local initiatives with $10,000 in resources! These donations are crucial in ensuring that our neighbors have access to basic needs through the 211 hotline and other essential services.
