just one call to find or give help.

United Way 2-1-1 spans a 23-county area, including 7 counties in Kansas and 16 in Missouri, and has access to literally thousands of resources. And that comprehensive database is constantly being updated so you'll have accurate information. Plus, United Way
2-1-1 saves 9-1-1 for life and death emergencies.

United Way 2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember central phone number connecting people with available community resources and volunteer opportunities. You'll reach a trained, caring professional 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All for free, all confidential.

United Way 2-1-1 also has a full time health care advocate who provides response to callers with health and medical issues, particularly those requiring advocacy. The health care advocate can help with prescription assistance, medical supplies and equipment, medical transportation, referrals to community clinics, in-home health aid, support groups, immunizations and more.

In addition to calling United Way 2-1-1, we also encourage you to visit United Way Helps, a confidential online program that will ask you a short series of questions to determine if you may qualify for 12 state and federal assistance programs. If you may be eligible, the site will also tell you how to take the next steps to apply for those programs. Click on the United Way Helps logo at the left of this page to get started.
