Impact Programs
211 is our free and confidential service provided by the United Ways of West Virginia that connects area residents to critical resources when they need help the most. Whether it's financial assistance, addiction treatment, health care, mental health counseling, or utility assistance, United Way's 211 helpline walks you through more than 12,000 available resources in West Virginia to find the right service or program for you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Sometimes you need more than an internet search. You need a conversation.
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program provides free tax preparation and filing services to low-middle income households. Powered by IRS-trained and certified volunteers, this program helps taxpayers save hundreds of thousands of dollars in filing fees, while ensuring they receive the largest refund for which they're eligible.
The Volunteer HQ web portal helps you find volunteer opportunities across our region and allows you to easily sign-up and track your involvement.

Flipside is our free after-school program available to students in grades 5-8. The program is designed to support students' academic, social, and emotional needs while making sure they are safe and having fun! We are currently located in 4 middle schools throughout our region.
United for Kids is our community-wide hygiene and personal care item drive that collects items for school pantries/closets in Marion, Taylor, Barbour, Randolph, and Tucker counties. Not all students have necessary hygiene or personal items available at home, so we need your help to make sure they stay healthy, happy, and ready to learn. Because of individual and corporate support, supplies are provided to all 50 schools across our region.
