Northwest Pipe Company Launches Community Impact Program

NWP Kicks Off Initiative with Donation to Share Vancouver’s Backpack Program

We’re proud to announce the launch of NWP’s Community Impact Program, a dedicated initiative to guide our Company’s philanthropic and community engagement activities.

Through the Community Impact Program, Northwest Pipe is strengthening its commitment to corporate responsibility by supporting recognized nonprofit organizations, fostering strong local communities, and aligning giving efforts with our Company’s code of business conduct and ethics.

To inaugurate the program, Northwest Pipe has made a $25,000 donation to the Share Vancouver Backpack Program, which provides over 1,200 bags of non-perishable food weekly to help low-income families sustain nutritious meals over the weekend when school lunches are unavailable. The program also prepares specialized “hotel bags” containing ready-to-eat food for families without access to kitchen facilities. Currently, Share Vancouver serves 90 schools across the Evergreen and Vancouver School Districts in Washington.

“We are incredibly grateful to Northwest Pipe Company for their generous financial support of Share’s Backpack Program through the Community Impact Program,” states Amy Reynolds, Executive Director at Share. “Your generosity helps to ensure that children and families have access to nutritious meals when school doors are closed, while also alleviating stress for parents who are managing households on a tight budget. Thank you for your heartfelt commitment to helping families in need in our community.”

“It’s a privilege to support Share Vancouver and their mission to make tangible differences in the lives of children and families,” said Scott Montross, President and Chief Executive Officer of Northwest Pipe Company. “Food insecurity affects far too many families, and this program resonates deeply with our team. Launching our Community Impact Program with this initiative sets the tone for the kind of local engagement we want to foster across all our locations.”

In 2025, Northwest Pipe will expand the Community Impact Program across our 13 manufacturing plants in North America, empowering local teams to engage with and support charitable initiatives in their own communities.
