Together for Recovery: GiveMore24! Early Giving Opens

September is a month of both awareness and action. As we honor Suicide Prevention & Awareness Month, we are reminded of the importance of connection, community, and hope. At Pier 360, we know that peer support can change hopelessness to hope and healing—because recovery is always possible, and no one should have to walk alone.

This month also brings an opportunity to strengthen that work through Give More 24!, Southwest Washington’s largest day of community giving.

What is GiveMore24!?

Give More 24! is a 24-hour online giving event that unites nonprofits, businesses, and neighbors across Clark, Cowlitz, and Skamania counties. It’s more than fundraising—it’s about showing what’s possible when our community comes together to invest in hope, healing, and resilience.

Early Giving opens September 9, and the big day is September 25, 2025. Every gift made—early or on the day—fuels programs that uplift people in mental health and substance use recovery.

UPDATE: We are thrilled to announce we have a matching grant for GiveMore24! Read more about it here.

New Video Project: What Peer Support Means to Me

This September, we’re launching a special video called “What Peer Support Means to Me.” In these rotating images, our peer staff shares words that captures the importance of Peer Support to them. Peer Support has shown us what it means to walk alongside someone, to listen without judgment, and to build community together.

Just as one peer described the experience of Pier 360:“You walk in feeling helpless, hopeless, and alone. You walk out feeling hopeful, renewed, cared for, and like you found a place that you belong...”

That transformation is what your support makes possible.

Why It Matters

Your gift to Pier 360 during Give More 24! directly supports:

• Peer-led support circles (our supportive groups) where people are seen, heard, and valued

• The Warm Line, where anyone can call and find someone who truly understands

• Creative and skill-building programs that build confidence and belonging

• Pathways to wellness that honor dignity and personal choice
