Information Services

United Way Information Services provides the vital link which connects the people of our community to the services in our community. Updated continually, our online database of government, social and human service agencies, cultural not-for-profit and charitable organizations is the most comprehensive available in Durham.

We can assist by phone and email to provide the resources needed to answer a question or tackle a difficult situation, however complex it may be. United Way Information Service also helps our community agencies and organizations to produce customized information brochures containing information relevant to their clients.
