Message from Richard Porth
President/CEO, United Way of Connecticut
Earlier this week, we experienced the first snowfall of the season in Connecticut, which means that the colder
 temperatures are here to stay. If you have any concerns about keeping warm through the winter, 2-1-1 is here to help. For those who meet the income and asset requirements, assistance is available regardless of how you heat your home, and you can receive assistance as a renter or as a homeowner. An overview of available programs can be found on the 2-1-1 website at this link.
Our call specialists have the latest information and eligibility requirements for all of the energy assistance programs in the state. We're here to help 24/7, so to get more information about energy assistance programs that you may be eligible for, just call 2-1-1 from anywhere in the state.

Holiday Meal and Gift Programs
|
|
There are many programs and agencies helping to make sure the holiday season is bright for everyone in Connecticut by providing food, toys, and other assistance to families in need.
 A list of Thanksgiving meals throughout the state can be found at this link, but due to the time-limited nature of holiday programs we are not able to maintain a complete listing on the 2-1-1 website. If you need assistance with meals or gifts this holiday season, or if you are able to donate food, toys, or volunteer your time, just dial 2-1-1 and ask to be connected with holiday programs and agencies in your local area.
