United Way is there when our communities need us. One way that happens — in 99% of the U.S. and across Canada — is through 211. This confidential 24/7 call center connects people with locally available help. In 2023, 211 fielded 15.4 million requests for help in the U.S. — including 424,000 requests in Spanish. 211 is free to use. And it’s available 180+ languages.
