Get Connected. Get Help. We help you find resources to help you with your bills, housing, food, employment, and more.
关于我们
If you need to connect with resources in your community, but don’t know where to look, PA 211 is a great place to start. From help with a utilities bill, to housing assistance, after-school programs for kids, and more, you can dial 211 or text your zip code to 898-211 to talk with a resource specialist for free. Our specialists will listen to your needs, and give you information on programs in your community that might be able to help. Visit pa211.org to search for services available in your community by categories such as financial assistance, housing, and food. What is 211? 211 is a vital service leveraged by millions of people across North America. Every day, clients contact 211 to access free and confidential crisis and emergency counseling, disaster assistance, food, health care and insurance assistance, stable housing and utilities payment assistance, employment services, veteran services and childcare and family services. What Does 211 Do? No matter the situation, the specialists at 211 listen, identify underlying problems, and connect people in need with resources and services in their community that improve their lives. In 2019 alone, PA 211 answered more than 200,000 calls, connecting community members in need to life-changing support. Why Does 211 Matter? 211 does more than “patch people through” to agencies. Instead, 211 specialists are trained to identify root causes of a client’s problem – and connect them with a wide range of available resources that meet all the underlying needs, not just the one that prompted the call or text. No other program has its “finger on the pulse” of America’s greatest needs. It’s a vital part of United Way’s efforts to build stronger communities and fight for the health, education and financial stability of every person in every community. 211 makes the social services ecosystem/network more efficient by ensuring people in need are connected to agencies that can help them.

Join United Way of Pennsylvania and United Way Worldwide in the Child Tax Credit (CTC) Week of Action by letting your elected officials know you support an expanded CTC. Act now: https://ow.ly/tmZB50V9ULJ Urge Congress to prioritize the expansion of the CTC for children who receive partial or no credit at all because their families’ incomes are too low. These families face the greatest challenges in making ends meet, and expanding the CTC would not only improve families’ ability to put food on the table but also benefit the economy and spur job growth. It takes a few seconds to submit a letter of support to your elected officials!
