In December 2025, Washington state experienced widespread and historic flooding after an intense atmospheric river brought record rainfall across Western Washington. State and federal emergency declarations have been issued, and responders continue working around the clock to support those affected. 

​

At Bankers Care, we are committed to helping our communities recover, and we’re sharing reliable ways you can make an impact — whether by donating, volunteering, or accessing vital resources.
