Calls are made to the United Way daily from people needing services to help them get by due to recent economic concerns. Because United Way does not offer direct support to individuals, callers can only be referred to various health and human service organizations in our area. A 24-hour United Way referral number that is easy to remember is 2-1-1 and works from any landline and answered day and night to handle emergency services.
