About Inform2Help

1. You enter a ZIP code. The page looks it up in a list that is built into the page itself.
2. Optional: you enter how many people live in your home and your monthly income before taxes. The page compares that to the official income limits that the programs publish, and says "likely", "maybe" or "unlikely".
3. You tap Call or open an official site. You can print a checklist of what to say and what to bring, or save a reminder to call.

• Everything is worked out on your own phone or computer. Your ZIP code, household size and income are never sent to us or to anyone else.
• There are no accounts, no cookies, no ads and no analytics from us. We do not save anything in your browser. When you close the page, it forgets what you typed.
• The page is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. As with any website, the host can see that a device asked for the page. We add no tracking of our own and never receive what you type.
• When you tap a link, a phone number or Map, you go to another service (for example Google Maps or a government site) that has its own rules.
• Your printed list and your calendar reminder are made on your device.

We checked the numbers and links on Oct 17, 2026. Limits change every year, so the dates matter.

• It is not a charity, a government site, or an agency. It is not affiliated with any of the programs or organizations it links to.
• It does not decide anything. Only each program can tell you whether you qualify.
• It cannot apply for you, and it never asks for money.

• The quick guide uses gross monthly income only. Savings, immigration status, deductions and other rules can change the answer. For SNAP with someone 60 or older or with a disability, the program looks at income after deductions, so we do not say likely or unlikely.
• We cover the 50 states and DC. For households of 9 or more people we do not give numbers.
• Many of the sites we link to are in English only. The National Hunger Hotline has a Spanish line, and you can ask for Spanish when you call 211.
• Programs, hours and phone numbers change. Call first to confirm.
• If a number or link is wrong, 211 can still point you to the right place.
