About

From a city program to a community effort

Our history

Connect Longview began in April 2019 as a City of Longview program, matching volunteer groups with homeowners who needed help with work they could not do on their own. The program was revamped and expanded in 2025, and Connect Longview became an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2026. Today homeowners come to us on their own or through referrals from the City of Longview and other local agencies.

Since the program was strengthened in March 2025: more than 156 projects completed, 1,499 volunteers, and 6,277 volunteer hours worth more than $215,019 in donated time, and counting.

Mission

Connect Longview is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening Longview neighborhoods by connecting local volunteers with homeowners who need assistance with property repairs. Together, we restore livable homes, strengthen neighborhoods, and build a more connected Longview.
