How HelpByState works
A listing goes up only after its phone and its address or hours match the organization's own page, or an official list.
Each card shows the day we checked it. If sources disagree, we say call first instead of guessing.
See something wrong, or know a place we missed? Send it in. Nothing changes until we have checked it.

Yes. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay. Every listing is free, and so is adding or correcting one.
Church and community pantries often change days, move, or close for a holiday. When the sources we checked disagree, or an organization does not publish its hours, we say so instead of guessing. A quick call saves a trip.
Use the Add a listing or Suggest an update form. We confirm it against your own page or contact you, then change the listing. It is free.
No. 2-1-1 is a statewide phone line and database run by the state network. HelpByState is an independent, county-by-county directory that shows the date each listing was checked. If you want to talk to a person, dial 2-1-1.
From each organization's own website or page, official sources such as housing authority and WIC clinic lists, and the public Find Food map of the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama. We list the source on every card.
If you run a pantry or program, or you saw a listing that is wrong, tell us. We check every message against the organization's own page before anything changes.
