United Way of Dane County 211 is Here to Help, 24/7
At United Way, we know that an internet search doesn’t always cut it in times of crisis. And we’re here to help, so that no neighbor has to navigate the complicated network of social services alone.

As the most comprehensive health and human services database in Dane County, 211 makes it easier for our neighbors to find and access the resources they need during challenging times. Last year, our 211 staff and volunteers handled:
- 26,700+ contacts (calls, texts, chats and emails)
- 58,600+ referrals to community resources
From finding food to paying rent or connecting to addiction treatment (and so much more), our 211 specialists are available 24/7, 365 days a year to provide confidential assistance in more than 350 languages.
With so many people struggling to make ends meet, we know the needs far outweigh resources currently available – that’s where you come in! By giving to United Way to support 211, you’re solving community problems and creating lasting change across Dane County.
