Flood Relief: How to Help & Get Support

Updated regularly

United Way of Pierce County is working with community partners to respond to the immediate needs of individuals and families impacted by recent flooding. This page will be updated as new information becomes available. Please check back often, as this is a rapidly evolving situation.

Immediate Needs

Several individuals and families have been displaced, including people who were living full-time in an RV campground. Those impacted include families with children, veterans, and seniors.

Currently Needed Donations

Clothing for all ages (infant through adult)
Shoes and boots
Diapers and baby formula
Pet food
Cleaning supplies (including rubber gloves)

Food & Supplies

Many displaced individuals are staying in hotels or are dry camping, making cooking difficult. We are seeking:

Ready-to-eat and non-perishable food
Food and supplies that do not require cooking

Donation Drop-Off Locations

Donations may be dropped off at the following locations. Please clearly label all donations as “For Flood Victims.”

New Hope Resource Center, 414 Spring St., Puyallup, WA 98372

Statewide Disaster Recovery Fund

In response to the devastation unfolding across Washington State, United Ways of the Pacific Northwest (UWPNW) has activated its Statewide Disaster Recovery Fund to support communities impacted by severe flooding.

This fund provides resources to local United Way organizations and trusted community partners working on the ground to deliver critical assistance to individuals and families in the areas hardest hit.

Donations made through this fund help ensure a coordinated, community-based response and support both immediate needs and long-term recovery efforts.
