Crohn's & Colitis Foundation Northwest Chapter Logo
Uniting to care & cure

We're finally seeing sunshine in the Pacific Northwest and right on time! It's National Volunteer Appreciation Week!

Every year, our community of IBD patients, caregivers, providers, and supporters comes together to help build a brighter future for those most impacted by Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis.

Because of you, we have seen remarkable improvements in treatment options, built support groups and resources, and overcame insurance company hurdles through advocacy.

During National Volunteer Week, we celebrate our volunteers who lend their time, talent, and voice to support the IBD community.

On behalf of the Northwest Chapter, thank you.
