We are adding help from agencies, nonprofits and churches across the county, each with who qualifies, what it costs and a phone number we have checked. Meanwhile, dial 211.
Every rule, cost and phone number here comes from the provider. We are a guide to Berks County, not the program: call before you go. If something is wrong, every service page has a report link, and our corrections policy says what happens next.
