Help starts here: confidential referrals to community resources via United Way 211
211.org is the official public-facing site for the United Way 211 helpline network, providing phone, chat, and online access to local health and human services. It has broader government funding and phone-first access than One Degree but offers less emphasis on user-generated edits and nonprofit transparency.
211.org is a United Way service that connects people to expert confidential help for essential community needs. Callers receive referrals for paying bills, finding food programs, housing and utilities support, healthcare, mental health, substance use, and disaster recovery. The network made millions of referrals in 2025 across local 211 centers nationwide.
