Our thoughts are with the survivors and families of those killed or missing in the Longview disaster. Washingtonians are generous people. We’ve seen that as first responders rushed to the scene, the care the Longview community has shown each other, and the way so many people from across the state are looking for ways to donate and give to the community.

If you are looking to donate to Longview families, please give thoughtfully and look out for potential scams or fraudulent solicitations. If you see a charity solicitation that looks suspicious, please file a complaint with our office. https://www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-releases/know-you-give-watch-out-charity-scams-seeking-profit-longview-paper-mill
