We were prompted to do research on organizations and programs that offer similar assistance that we plan to provide and United Way was explicitely mentioned. United Way is a non profit organization that aims "fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community." They have a specific program, 2-1-1 that allows users to call a free, confidential helpline number to talk to about a number of different social services. This is a very helpful service. The difference between what they provide and what our goal is, is that all the paper work and links will be at the users finger tips and online without having to go through a number of different mediums to find what they are looking for.
