People in lineNew2Need is a telephone helpline designed to provide assistance to those in need in Tarrant County, Texas. There are many government agencies and charitable organizations available to the public, but navigating through the system can seem next to impossible.

Certain agencies, for example may not be able to assist a person if the person does not complete the proper forms. Setting an appointment with one agency may be useless if a person has not visited another one first.

New2Need has learned now to move through the system and provides:

  • Up-to-date contact information for agencies appropriate to the person.
  • Information on estimated wait times.
  • Research on the required information necessary to file with these agencies.

New2Need’s hotline operates throughout the day and evening as needed. From callers, the organization gains the information necessary to propose the most effective solutions for their situations. Utilizing their sources, New2Need researches, develops and proposes the most appropriate steps for clients to take to achieve their desired outcomes.

Unlike other local charities, New2Need does not offer food, clothing or financial assistance. They work to understand their clients’  unique needs so New2Need can direct them on the right course. The organization’s main concern is that the people they help have the resources to receive the assistance they need while maintaining their dignity and self-respect. New2Need knows the challenges faced can be daunting, but they also know that there are people and agencies that can lend a helping hand.

The number to call in Fort Worth is 817 306 9638. New2Need’s information is listed in the United Way of Tarrant County’s 2-1-1 Book. See www.unitedwaytarrant.org.
