Suicide Prevention & Awareness Month

This month is a time to remind each other that hope is real and help is always possible. At Pier 360, we know peer support can be the bridge between despair and healing. We’ll be holding space to honor lives lost, uplift voices of recovery, and offer encouragement to all who need it.

Our Warm Line remains open daily from 4 PM to midnight for non-crisis support, encouragement, and a listening ear: 360-903-2853.

GiveMore24!: September 25

We’re excited to be participating in GiveMore24! for the first time under our new name, Pier 360. Early giving begins September 9. Every gift helps sustain programs like the Warm Line, EmployAble Initiative, and community wellness activities—and this year, we’re working to secure a matching donor, which means your impact can be doubled.

Staying Connected

Pier 360 also continues to offer ways to get involved through both volunteer and paid roles. Our peer-led movement is built on the idea that every person’s strengths ripple outward into our community.

As we step into September, let’s continue to create those ripples—through connection, compassion, and action.
