Supporting Our Military Community
For military-connected individuals and families, confidentiality, convenience and complexity are often cited as barriers to accessing programs or services. The 211 Helpline serves as a vital lifeline, offering comprehensive and confidential assistance to individuals seeking access to a wide range of community resources and support services.
The Military and Family Helpline leverages the existing infrastructure of the 211 Helpline to provide tailored support to veterans, retirees, service members, civilian personnel and their families in Nebraska and Iowa.
As part of a signed partnership agreement with Offutt AFB, a navigator will maintain offices on base and at UWM to help families braid veteran, installation, and community-based resources to meet needs. This comprehensive approach ensures that individuals facing multifaceted challenges can access vital services with greater ease and efficiency, regardless of their proximity to military installations. By centralizing information and bolstering navigation services, the helpline fosters resilience and well-being by helping military-connected individuals navigate the intricacies of available resources designed to serve them.
Serving Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska and Iowa
United Way of the Midlands is proud to partner with Offutt Air Force Base and Military and Family Readiness to support military personnel and their families. Our helpline navigator maintains offices on base, and in our United Way of the Midlands building in Millwork Commons.
