In Moments of Crisis,
One Call Can Change Everything

United Way’s 211 helpline connects people across West Michigan to critical support—24/7.

We can’t slow the emergencies. We can only speed the response.

United Way’s 211 helpline is a free, confidential, 24/7 service connecting people across West Michigan to food, housing support, utility assistance, mental health resources, and care for aging loved ones. Each year, more than 48,000 calls come into 211—each one from someone facing an unexpected moment of crisis.

Recent changes in state funding have created a $130,000 gap, increasing the strain on a service people rely on in moments of crisis.

Your gift today, helps close the funding gap and ensures no one in West Michigan faces crisis alone.

This funding helps ensure every call to 211 is answered when it matters most.
