211 Information & Referral Service (Ongoing 2024-2025)
​
211 is a vital service funded by local United Ways and maintained by the SC United Way State Association. Every day, individuals in Florence County contact 211 to get connected to a wealth of resources in our community that help with a wide range of needs. This service is free, confidential, and always available to those in need.
In addition to providing support for those in need, 211 allows United Way to identify service gaps, unmet needs, underserved populations, and common determinants that often lead to a crisis.
Sponsorship funds for this service help offset maintenance costs for the 211 database, which are $22,800/year.

United for ALICE Initiative
​​
Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) represents a significant portion of our population – people who work hard in jobs such as cashiers, childcare providers, and other essential roles. Despite their contributions to our workforce, ALICE individuals earn just above the Federal Poverty Level but fall short of what they need to cover basic needs. ALICE reports, which provide data on national, state, and county levels, are used by United Ways in 31 states. Insights from these reports are shared and used to strengthen programs serving the needs of individuals in Florence County.
Sponsorship funds for this report help offset research costs, which are $1,500/year.
