Established in 1887, United Way is a nonprofit focused on providing solutions that strengthen the education, financial stability, and health of every community in the world. Toward that end, it facilitates various initiatives, including the 2-1-1 Program.

A free, confidential national service accessible to over 14 million individuals across the United States and Canada, the 2-1-1 Program helps people find the assistance they need, whether it’s with employment, food, housing, or relief. People who are dealing with abuse, addiction, and health issues can also call 2-1-1 to find reliable resources in the local chapters. The service extends to veterans in need of emergency assistance and people who are coming out of correctional and mental health facilities or have been impacted by human trafficking. The 2-1-1 service is accessible 24/7 and available in all languages.
