I need financial assistance to help pay rent, buy food for my family, and more. Can United Way help?
United Way is not legally set up to provide direct financial assistance to individuals, but we work with many community partners that do. The best way to find available resources in your area is by calling our 211 helpline. It’s a 3-digit number like 911, but for access to health and human services. Call 211 to speak with a trained specialist who can connect you to services providing food, shelter, childcare, legal assistance, and more.
