Each day, thousands of Central Kentuckians search for information about health and human services such as food, shelter, medical care, substances abuse treatment, protection from domestic violence or disaster relief – the list is endless.

While nonprofit and government services are ready to help, the large number of providers –with more than 500 different telephone numbers – makes it hard to find the right place quickly. The result is often repeated calls and frustration.

2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember phone number that connects people with the help they need. It’s accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in more than 150 languages.

United Way 2-1-1 is accessible through both landlines and cell phones. If your phone system cannot connect to 2-1-1 or if you are calling from outside of Central Kentucky, please dial (859) 313-5465.
