United Way of Will County Initiatives
United Way of Will County is more than just a fundraiser. Through a network of partnerships and collaborations, United Way of Will County leads and coordinates the following initiatives:
211
A free, multi-lingual, confidential, 24/7 information and referral service that provides a central access point to health and human services in Will County.
Diaper Depot
A free, community diaper program that provides one, pre-packaged bundle of 25 diapers, per child per month, to families experiencing hardships. Diaper bundles are only available through our designated Diaper Depot partners.
SingleCare
A prescription drug discount card, available to everyone, that helps uninsured and under-insured individuals and families in the Will County area. This is not insurance – discounts only.
Home Sweet Home
A community initiative designed to assist residents, through established community partners, with donated, new household items.

Emergency Food & Shelter Program (EFSP)
A Federal Grant that United Way of Will County has locally administered since 1983.
