When families have the resources they need, children thrive and entire communities grow stronger. 🌱 The Child Tax Credit is one of the most effective tools we have to reduce child poverty. In 2021, it helped cut child poverty nearly in half. At United Way, we believe in building long-term stability — beyond just relief — for families. Expanding the Child Tax Credit again would mean more food on the table, more opportunity, and a stronger future for us all. 🔗 Read the full op-ed by United Way's President & CEO, Angela F.

“It’s not a checklist. It’s a conversation.” ❤️ It starts with a call about food assistance. But as you listen more closely, you learn she hasn’t been able to pick up her medication. She doesn’t have a vehicle. Her blood sugar is rising. That's when 211 steps in, connecting her with transportation support and finding coupons to help lower the cost of insulin. This is what it means to be a community resource specialist at Wyoming 2-1-1, Inc. It’s empathy in action. It’s trust built one call at a time. It’s meeting people where they are and extending a helping hand. This is how United Way is showing up in rural communities across the country. ☎️ Need help? #JustCall211 ➡️ Learn how Wyoming 211 is serving rural communities: https://untdwy.org/3EYTJ5l? (fb)
