United Way of Bartholomew County launched a new website to connect people to local agencies and resources. Residents can visit searchuwbc.org to find information and support from a variety of resources in the community.
“When you are looking for the information you need to get help in Bartholomew County, you expect it right away. Through Search UWBC, you will quickly find the information you need — when you need it,” said Alicia Monroe, director of the Volunteer Action Center.
Since 2000, United Way has connected residents local resources through the 2-1-1 program. That is an information and referral service that connects people to resources via phone by simply dialing 2-1-1. In May 2019, Indiana 2-1-1 transitioned to a statewide system and the United Way of Bartholomew County call center was eliminated based on the state’s decision to consolidate.
