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.
