Count on 211 for connections to health services and more.

United Way of Champaign County is always here for the people in our community. The current COVID-19 outbreak is no different. Together with 211, we are helping people connect to critical health services and more.

As people feel the health, education and financial impacts of the coronavirus, 211 is here to help. With one toll-free call, text or online request to 211, anyone in need can get free and confidential connections to:

  • Health care
  • Emergency counseling
  • Disaster assistance
  • Food programs
  • Stable housing 
  • Employment and education opportunities
  • Childcare and family services
  • And more 

211 resource specialists are available 24/7/365 and across the network, they speak more than 180 languages. 

And 211 saves you precious time - you don't need to read through a giant online resource guide, trying to find the right local program for your needs. Simply call 211. The caring experts on the other end of the 211 line listen, identify underlying problems, and connect people with the right resources and services that can provide support. 

In our community, 211 is supported by United Way and the Champaign County Mental Health Board. To keep this vital free service going, United Way needs support from generous donors in our community. A gift to United Way of Champaign County helps support the 211 system that connects so many to the resources and services they need during this crisis and year-round. Please consider giving today to support people in our community. 

Keep 211 Going and Growing

211 has experienced an 81% increase in calls locally since the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic. Please donate so we can provide critical services like 211 for residents in our community.
