How do I get information on community help resources?
For those in need for help with utilities, food, protective services, legal assistance, child care, social support, housing, mental health, and more.
Answer
The Student Outreach and Support page has an overview of support services offered at the University of Memphis, including academic, economic, and emotional supports.
LINC 2-1-1 maintains a large database of community health services, government agencies, and volunteer groups available in the broader Memphis area. They also provide appointments with social workers at five Memphis Public Library branches.
To get assistance from LINC 2-1-1:
- Call 211.
- For people with auditory disabilities, call TTY 415-2701.
- Search the online database of community resources.
LINC 2-1-1 is a service of the Memphis Public Library in conjunction with United Way of the Mid-South.
