United Ways of New Jersey

The need was great and the United Ways of New Jersey responded. Working with New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities, they secured the 2-1-1 dialing code to create an easy-to-access, statewide portal for information about health and human services, government programs and local community resources.  In 2002 the NJ 2-1-1 Partnership,  a subsidiary of United Ways of New Jersey,  was designated as the sole administrator of the three-digit dialing code. NJ 211 opened its call lines in 2005 as a result of this effort. Today, the organization responds to more than 1,000,000 requests for help annually.

United Way is the world's largest non-profit, but each organization listed below is working to change lives in local communities. The funds raised stay in the community and are invested in programs that impact and improve lives every day. Each supports services that build strong, independent individuals and families. Many focus their energies on resources that foster education, financial stability, and healthy lifestyles, while others focus their attention on affordable housing and other basic needs. All believe in the power of volunteers to help address the needs that challenge communities. 

Find out what is happening at your local United Way and how you can volunteer or support the efforts being made to improve communities... one life at a time.
