United Way 211 Service

As of Dec. 5, 2005, residents of Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties can call a simple three-digit number, 2-1-1, and get connected to thousands of health and human services.

2-1-1 has the most comprehensive information and referral database in the region and can help you locate human services in your community such as:
  • Child and elderly care
  • After-school programs
  • Emergency shelter
  • Job training
  • Rent assistance
  • Utility assistance
  • Counseling
  • Substance abuse

Anyone needing help in Macomb, Oakland or Wayne counties can dial 2-1-1.
Anyone outside of the tri-county area can call United Way’s 2-1-1 call center
by dialing 1-800-552-1183.

You can also give help through 2-1-1 or look for volunteer opportunities.
