A resilient community is one that can
anticipate, withstand, adapt to, and recover from economic, social, natural, man-made or other crises -- emerging stronger than before. At United Way, we believe that when we mobilize the caring power of our communities, there is no obstacle we can’t overcome. We’re doing that through 211, the 24-7 connection to local resources United Way supports, and through disaster resiliency, preparedness and long-term recovery, and thought leadership.
What's the 211?
211 is a vital community service accessed by millions of Americans every year. People call 211 for free, confidential help with a wide range of social services and resources, including food, housing, utilities payment assistance, health care, transportation, childcare, employment opportunities, mental health crises, disaster information and assistance, and more.
