United Way Relief Fund: Fresno County

United Way Fresno and Madera Counties (UWFM) is committed to helping the most vulnerable members of the Central Valley, including during times of crisis. As such, the non-profit organization is providing multiple resources for people who have concerns about their well-being and financial stability during the COVID-19 pandemic, including a relief fund designed to provide aid for Fresno and Madera County-area residents affected by the current public-health emergency.

Funds collected for the relief fund will stay in the Central Valley and go directly to families and individuals impacted by the pandemic. While details are still being sorted out in terms of applicant requirements and how much money will be allocated per household, interested parties can start making donations to the fund at uwfm.org/relief. A text-to-give campaign will soon go live as well.

Concerned locals are also able to contact United Way’s 211 helpline for assistance with everything from emergency food and shelter to real-time COVID-19 information. Individuals can text “Coronavirus” to 211-211 for a localized list of pandemic-related resources, or text “Connect” to the same number for links to low-cost internet options. The service is also available online, at 211ca.org.

Central Valley residents who are interested in volunteering during this crisis can visit uwfm.org/giveback to learn steps for becoming a 211 phone operator. United Way Fresno and Madera Counties is collecting alternative volunteer opportunities as well – and an assortment of other helpful links and resources – and listing them at uwfm.org/covid19.

Updates will be announced as they occur.
