This phone call has given me more hope than I ever thought possible. I have been beaten down for so long and told that I could never be anything. Just talking with you meant even more than all the resources you gave me.

United Way of Central Maryland 211 Client

Connections to help and resources were made by the 211 network in 2021.

If it were not for your help, I don't know what I would have done without food. It's been too dangerous to go out and I can't afford to be at risk.

211 Miami Client

Average increase in 211 call volume throughout 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic.
