United Way of Metro Chicago Teams Up With NowPow to Power Collective Care Across Chicago
Summary
NowPow provides neighborhood resource partners the ability to send and receive referrals to address basic needs and social services across the network. With focused collaboration, United Way partners with neighborhood businesses, nonprofits, schools and leaders to identify their biggest challenges and develop solutions that create measurable impact. This is why we are excited to support United Way in their efforts to work with NowPow to create a platform that could be used across nonprofits and possibly government agencies,” said Darnell Shields, Executive Director of Austin Coming Together. NowPow was perfect, because its software is already equipped with a referral gateway and used by many of our healthcare partners.” The Neighborhood Network partners are focused on addressing basic needs like food and housing, along with early childhood learning, workforce development, and living-wage jobs. NowPow uniquely connects both sides of the referral process to better support a community’s entire network of health and social resources in order to help people get well, stay well, manage with disease, and care for others.
