United Way Spotlights Helpline at Health Council Meeting
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – At this month’s Regional Health Council meeting, local leaders and public health officials gathered to discuss key issues affecting the community.
For many in Chattanooga, help is just a phone call or text away. United Way’s 211 helpline offers free and confidential support, guiding residents to essential services tailored to their needs.
Whether it’s financial assistance, food security, or mental health support, 211 provides a crucial connection to resources for those facing hardship.
211 is here to bridge the gap between individuals in crisis and the resources that can help them. From housing and utility assistance to food and healthcare services, they provide quick and effective connections.
The service is staffed by trained professionals who assess callers’ needs and direct them to nonprofit and government organizations that can offer assistance.
With economic challenges on the rise, the demand for 211’s services continue to grow. Last year, 211 supported thousands of Chattanooga residents, proving to be a lifeline in times of uncertainty.
United Way encourages those in need to dial 211 or visit their website for assistance. Their goal is to ensure that no one in the community feels alone when facing hardship.
If you or someone you know is in need, 211 resources are available.
