Call for Lake County Residents and Service Providers to 'Be a Link. Pass the Link'
(LAKE COUNTY, IL- March 2017)- "Be a Link. Pass the Link." United Way of Lake County has declared this call-to-action for all Lake County residents and service providers to connect one another to needed health and human services available throughout the county.
Find Help Lake County is the only single point of access that connects individuals with health and human services in Lake County, IL. These services cover a broad spectrum of concerns - from teen pregnancy to uninsured families to substance abuse and those living with domestic violence. However, the very people who could most benefit from these services often do not know they exist or how to find them.
Individuals, families and service providers are able to access www.FindHelpLakeCounty.org to search for services for free. The website has a user-friendly guided search to help individuals narrow down their search results and guide individuals to the resource that is right for them. The database is available in 10 different languages to accommodate the many languages spoken in Lake County, IL. Individuals are also able to search within the database for volunteer opportunities and organizations to donate items to.
United Way of Lake County distributes an abbreviated version of the website for those without access to the internet. This guide is available in both English and Spanish. The updated 2016-2017 Find Help Lake County print guide is available to the public on a first come, first serve basis. Due to the limited number of guides being printed, United Way of Lake County requests that you place your order for guides through www.FindHelpLakeCounty.org and order under "For Agencies" then "Order Print Guides"
