Find Help: National & State-by-State Support Directory

Resource navigation only—not professional advice. Together We Fight Apparel is not a government agency, healthcare provider, treatment center, law firm, benefits office, or social-service provider. We connect visitors with outside resources. Eligibility, funding, insurance networks, hours, and availability change; confirm details directly with the agency, provider, and insurer.

Find food banks, rent and utility assistance, gas and transportation help, healthcare, rehabilitation, disability services, benefits, childcare, caregiver support, legal aid, and more. Choose your state and ZIP code whenever a directory asks for a location.

Start here: find help near you

• 211 — local community assistance: call 2-1-1 or search for food, rent, utility bills, gas vouchers, shelter, clothing, childcare, healthcare, and emergency financial help.

Choose your state: official programs and local services

These maintained directories let you select a state, territory, county, or ZIP code. They are better starting points than static lists of program details that may change.

• State social services agencies — USA.gov.

• WIC state and local contacts — USDA.
• LIHEAP state energy assistance profiles.
• Aging and disability resource systems by state — ACL.
• Disability rights agencies by state — NDRN.
• IDEA special education contacts by state.
• Medicaid and CHIP state contacts.

Ask about county coverage, eligibility, waitlists, required documents, language access, and disability accommodations. If you cannot find the right office, call 2-1-1 and request a local referral.

Gas cards, transportation vouchers, and medical rides

Gas cards and fuel vouchers are usually local, limited-funding programs—not a guaranteed nationwide benefit. Ask 211, Community Action Agencies, charities, disease-specific nonprofits, and hospital social workers about fuel cards, bus passes, volunteer drivers, and medical travel assistance.

• Medicaid non-emergency medical transportation: eligible members may have rides to covered appointments; ask the state plan about its ride broker.

Rehabilitation: inpatient, outpatient, and insurance coverage

“Rehab” can mean physical rehabilitation after stroke, brain injury, surgery, or illness; occupational or speech therapy; cardiac or pulmonary rehab; mental health treatment; or substance-use treatment. Hospital inpatient rehab, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and regular outpatient care are different levels of care.

• Medicare Care Compare: inpatient rehabilitation facilities: find and compare Medicare-certified inpatient rehab facilities.
• Medicare inpatient rehabilitation coverage: eligibility and coverage basics.
• FindTreatment.gov: mental health and substance-use treatment by state, county, and distance; filters include Medicaid, outpatient, residential, and hospital inpatient.
• Medicaid provider-network guidance: each state Medicaid/CHIP program has its own provider network; ask the state plan for participating providers.
• ACL directories: additional state and local disability and health-service directories.

Insurance checklist: Call the number on the insurance card and request in-network providers for the exact service and level of care. Confirm the facility location, clinician, and program are in network; whether referral or prior authorization is required; deductibles and copays; out-of-network rules; and appeal options. “Accepts this insurer” does not guarantee your particular plan or service is covered. For a medical or psychiatric emergency, call 911 or go to an emergency department.
