In response, the U.S. 211 network, in partnership with United Way Worldwide, has launched a new food assistance search tool at 211.org/food. Individuals and families can search by ZIP code to find local food resources and support in their communities.

Now, more than ever, we must come together to provide resources and support to our community members.

Thousands of staff and volunteers across the country make sure 211 is available 24/7 to help you or someone you care about. Each one of us has our own story, and our own reason for doing this important work.
