Blue Chevrons

An hour with a struggling reader. A few weeks at tax time helping your neighbors keep more of what they earned. A Saturday morning refreshing a Born Learning Trail. Every year, people from all across Pickens County give their time to United Way and become part of the work that makes this community stronger.

When the bills don't add up, the food runs out, or the rent is impossible, knowing who to call shouldn't be one more thing to figure out. United Way of Pickens County funds 211, the free, confidential resource line that connects you to food, housing, utility help, healthcare, tax help, and dozens of other local resources, around the clock, in English and Spanish.

Whatever you're navigating, your first call is 211 (or 1-866-892-9211) 

Real change in Pickens County is the work of donors, volunteers, employers, and neighbors who show up. There are many ways to be part of that work. Whether you're ready to give, volunteer, attend an event, or bring your company alongside us, this is where you start.

Right now in Pickens County, a child is sounding out a word she didn't know yesterday. A father is filing his first tax return without paying a fee. A mother is calling 211 instead of skipping rent. A child is naming a feeling she's never had words for before.

None of them know your name. All of them feel your hand.
