COVID-19 Community Information & Resources

      YAKIMA VALLEY RESILENCE AND RESPONSE FUND

A fund to support and help sustain charitable organizations and agencies as they work to address the COVID-19 virus and its impacts on the Yakima Valley, particularly our valley's most vulnerable populations. Recovery from crisis is sometimes more challenging than managing through it. This fund will assist in restoring our valley and in strengthening systems and organizations for greater resiliency by using the lessons learned throughout the crisis.
