Behind every 2-1-1 call is a person facing a challenge they shouldn't have to navigate alone.

Whether it's help with food, housing, childcare, healthcare, utilities, or safety, United Way of Northwest Georgia's 2-1-1 Resource Navigators are here to listen, connect, and guide people to the support they need.

Last year, more than 13,000 requests for help were answered through 2-1-1. But the true impact isn't in the numbers—it's in the moments when someone realizes help is available and hope is within reach.

📞 Dial 2-1-1 or visit ourunitedway.org to connect with local resources.

Young people making a BIG difference! 🌎

Youth United joined volunteers from across our community for the 32nd Annual Conasauga River Watershed Clean-Up as part of Make a Difference Day!

By giving their time to remove litter and debris, these young volunteers helped protect our local waterways and preserve the natural beauty of Northwest Georgia.

We're proud of these students for stepping up, serving together, and showing that you're never too young to make a difference! 💪

The Young Leaders Society celebrated Make a Difference Day by installing and stocking a new Little Free Library at the John Davis Recreation Center!

Through this project, YLS members helped create a place where children and families can discover new stories, share books, and develop a love for reading, all while making literacy more accessible in our community.

Thank you to our YLS members for investing in our community and helping turn a simple idea into an opportunity for learning and connection. 📚

The Women's Leadership Council put their passion for service into action during Make a Difference Day by assembling 60 literacy kits for children across Northwest Georgia!

From purchasing supplies to putting each kit together, these women worked to encourage early literacy and put learning resources into the hands of local children.

The kits will be distributed to the Chatsworth Library, Whitfield Dalton Daycare, Friendship House, NWGA Crisis Center, and Family Support Council to benefit children in their programs.

Because when we invest in literacy, we're investing in brighter futures! 💙

Their team focused on cleaning up the area surrounding Mill Creek at the Broaddus-Durkan Complex, removing litter and debris to help preserve the natural beauty of our community.

Projects like these remind us that caring for our community also means caring for the environment we all share. Every piece of litter removed is a step toward a cleaner, healthier Northwest Georgia! Thank you, Shaw Industries!

Big impact starts with a little teamwork! 💪
Volunteers from Mohawk Industries spent Make a Difference Day improving the outdoor recreation space at the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Georgia!

From clearing and cleaning the green space to helping build workout equipment and installing signs along the bike trail and disc golf course, these volunteers helped create a space for Club members to get outside, stay active, and have fun.

Thank you, Mohawk Industries, for investing your time and talents in opportunities for our community's youth!

Another day, another opportunity to recognize the difference our volunteers are making! 💚

As we continue highlighting our Make a Difference Day projects, we're recognizing volunteers from Marsh McLennan Agency who spent time refreshing the landscaping outside of Carter Hope Center's women's houses!

Their hard work helped beautify the property and create a more welcoming environment for the women who call it home. Thank you, Marsh McLennan Agency - McGriff, for giving your time and energy to make a meaningful difference in our community. Together, we're showing that United is the Way! 💪

A fresh coat of paint and a whole lot of community spirit! 🎨💙
Volunteers from Engineered Floors got to work at Whitfield County Dalton Daycare Center for United Way's Make a Difference Day!

Their team tackled projects throughout the facility, including painting the gross motor room, pressure washing playground canopies and sidewalks, refreshing parking lot lines, and cleaning up flower beds.

These improvements help create a brighter, cleaner, and more welcoming environment for the children and families who use the center each day. Thank you, Engineered Floors, for rolling up your sleeves and making a difference for some of our community's youngest learners! 🎓
