WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WI – United Way of South Wood & Adams Counties is now distributing the 2026 Help Guide. Help Guides are distributed throughout south Wood County at nonprofit organizations, government offices, clinics, banks, gas stations, and churches.
The Help Guide tells how to connect to United Way’s 211 and what information can be received from 211, such as resources and referrals for addiction, childcare, clothing, educational services, food, housing and utilities, suicide and crisis lifeline, transportation, and more.
Elementary students at Assumption Catholic Schools, Port Edwards Public Schools, Nekoosa Public Schools, and Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools will also be sent home with a 2026 Help Guide.
If your business or organization distributes information to people in need and would like to include the Help Guide, please contact the United Way office at 715-421-0390 or send an email to danie@uwswac.org.
