Monetary donations from WSSC customers, employees, and community members support the Water Fund. 100% of all donations go directly to those in need.

The Salvation Army assists clients and manages the fund, while WSSC Water pays the administrative and promotional fees. This means 100 percent of all donations go directly to those in need.
