Keep United Way's 211 Going Strong in Manitowoc County
February 17, 2026
United Way is urging community members to consider making a gift in support of 211, United Way’s free, confidential helpline that connects individuals and families to essential resources 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
As more people face financial instability, mental health challenges, housing insecurity, and unexpected crises, 211 has become a lifeline. Last year alone, the helpline fielded over 1,500 calls from residents seeking help with everything from rent and utility assistance to food, childcare, and mental health support.
