For Families
The Planning Council has been lending a helping hand to families and children in need for nearly three-quarters of a century. Through planning, community outreach, and responsive program development, our team has made it their business to know where to go for what services. We don’t provide all of the services and resources, but we connect you to the agencies and organizations that do.
How We Can Help
Whether you’re looking for affordable, quality childcare, resources and training in parenting, nutrition and wellness, Universal Screening – assessments and outreach for at-risk children, housing and supportive services, The Planning Council helps you find the right resources.
The Planning Council also supports United Way’s MISSION UNITED program supporting U.S. military veterans and their families as they re-acclimate to civilian life and 2-1-1 Virginia, a free 24/7 confidential referral and information service that connects people from all communities and of all ages to the essential health and human services they need.
Are You...
… Looking for Help, But Not Sure Where to Turn?
When you dial 2-1-1, a trained professional listens to your situation and suggests sources of help using one of the largest databases of health and human services in Virginia, Maryland and DC. 2-1-1 provides access to services in your community and statewide. All referrals are confidential and you can search for these same services online at each of the regional 2-1-1 websites linked below.
2-1-1 Virginia is a service of the Virginia Department of Social Services provided in partnership with the Council of Community Services, The Planning Council, the United Way of Central Virginia, and the United Way of Greater Richmond and Petersburg.
