Trident United Way
Welcome to Trident United Way
Trident United Way works to strengthen our community by focusing on education, income and health.
These are the building blocks of a good life -- a quality education that leads to a stable job,
enough income to support a family and good health.
By giving, advocating and volunteering, we can create a community where everyone has the opportunity for a good life.
That's how we LIVE UNITED.

What is 2-1-1?
- FCC federally designated three digit dialing access code to health and human services
- Defined as 24-hour access to get or give help
- Modeled after the systems for 411 and 911

- Communities have latitude to define the service to meet local needs
