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.
