United Way Initiatives
Addressing urgent needs today for a
better tomorrow.
COMMUNITY RESILIENCY
Last year, our local 211
received 5,006 calls
and made over 11,000
referrals for clients in
need of resources.
2-1-1 is a free and confidential referral and information
helpline linking individuals to vital health and human
services around the clock throughout East Central
Alabama.
In 2023, HopeUNITED served 24 clients
through preventing exploitation and
providing recovery resources to trafficking
victim-survivors.
HopeUNITED, United Way of East Central Alabama’s Anti-
Trafficking Initiative, exists to partner, collaborate, and
provide services to help stop and prevent sex trafficking
in local communities and beyond. Our efforts include
prevention through building community awareness,
education, and training, as well as intervention through
connections with local & statewide resources.
