United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania is working with its labor and nonprofit partners to assist those affected by the shifting federal policy landscape and help address vital needs. If you are facing unemployment or in need of assistance, United Way’s PA 211 Southwest resource hotline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Dial 211 from any phone or text your zip code to 898-211 to be connected to a resource navigator. You can also chat directly with resource navigators on the PA 211 website. Navigators will ask questions to determine your needs and eligibility and refer you to resources in your area if available. The PA 211 Southwest hotline connects people in our community to food, essential personal care items such as diapers and period products, rental assistance, child care and much more. Do not hesitate to reach out if you are in need.
