Today, we're celebrating the compassionate individuals that make up 211 -- from hardworking resource team members to frontline navigators and community resource specialists. 211 is more than a call center; it's a starting point for people in need and a tool for helping

Heroes don’t just exist on screen. They show up in real life. Did you catch @michaelstrahan’s powerful message on supporting communities in New Orleans and Los Angeles as they rebuild? Join us in helping these communities rise. 💙 Be part of the change, today:

With your support, we can help those most impacted by the deadly hurricanes in the Southeast. Text RECOVERY to 40403 to give today. https://t.co/p1aRvPTzII

Join us in celebrating our new logo, representing 1.5 million volunteers and 1,100+ local United Ways. Our logo may have changed but our mission hasn't. United Way has spent 137 years creating stronger communities where all can thrive. #UnitedIstheWay https://t.co/4wPivqjx4H

We're assembling a star-filled lineup, including musicians, celebrity guests and real-life heroes from the recent hurricanes for a night of hope and healing. Join us on Sat, Nov. 2, at 8pm ET/PT & 7pm CT on @CBS, @CMT or @ParamountPlus. #UnitedforRecovery https://t.co/JkacEI1CJW

.@UnitedWayABC President and CEO Dan Leroy gives a firsthand account of the storm that left entire communities underwater and survivors cutoff from rescue - without power, cell service, or drinkable water. https://t.co/clvYKZsdrg

“We’ve had whole towns completely submerged, whole neighborhoods in the city of Asheville completely underwater. Businesses gone, houses gone, a lot of people still missing.” Read more from @UnitedWayABC President and CEO Dan Leroy. #HurricaneHelene https://t.co/clvYKZsdrg

211 is a lifeline for millions but increasingly, 211 experts' hands are tied as callers don't qualify for services. @WSJ's Rachel Wolfe speaks with @CBSNews about the need gap in available services due to federal poverty line and income restrictions. https://t.co/qXJ7S0AOtX

Our neighbors are increasingly feeling the stress of keeping their households afloat. 211 is here to help. However, there is a significant need gap in the services available to many callers due to federal poverty line and income restrictions. https://t.co/wkjwJo1PBr

Today I'm with @UnitedWay Power Forward Communities partners for the announcement by @VP Kamala Harris, @EPAMichaelRegan on the historic $20 billion #GGRF grants to invest in climate action. Learn how we’ll use our grant to benefit communities nationwide: https://t.co/oWjEsm6u6f

With 19M+ referrals made in 2023, 211's data show there are still massive, very concerning need gaps in our communities. For housing needs alone, referrals have more than doubled compared to 2018. More here on the 2023 data: https://t.co/RdN1MYIaom

As Hurricane Idalia makes landfall, 211 is here to help with natural disaster resources and non-emergency assistance. Call 211 or visit https://t.co/729LMm7VJ2 -- 211 specialists are available 24/7 and calls can be anonymous.
