The mission of United Way 2-1-1 is to provide easy, simple access to health and human services, to give callers an opportunity to give or get help, and to serve as a hub for community information in times of disaster.

Phone Service
2-1-1 service is free and confidential, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Certified Information & Referral Specialists assist callers by helping them assess their needs and identify appropriate community-based resources. Specialists also educate callers about the service they are being referred to so they are empowered to navigate systems and advocate for services on their own behalf. 

United Way 2-1-1 has a history of providing a valuable service to all residents of the communities we serve. As a community service of United Way for the last 30 years, it is instrumental in helping United Way Fox Cities fulfill its' mission of: "Bringing diverse people  together to build a stronger, more caring community for everyone."

We provide a comprehensive information service that is designed to assist all segments of the general population. United Way 2-1-1 manages a community database that consists of health and human service providers, non-profits, educational programs, clubs and community groups, and local, city and county services that serve the residents of this ten-county area, which includes Calumet, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Manitowoc, Marquette, Outagamie, Sheboygan, Waushara, Waupaca and Winnebago Counties. Contact us by dialing 2-1-1 (or 800-924-5514) or susan.richards@unitedwayfoxcities.org to learn more about our inclusion policies and how to be part of our database.

We provide a service that strives to operate within the recommended policy and procedural guidelines set by AIRS. We also support initiatives through WisconsinAIRS that promote Information & Referral in the state of Wisconsin.
