About

About Unity Portal

Unity Portal is a community coordination platform connecting residents, churches, nonprofits, volunteers, and local resources throughout Bell County, Texas. The initial verified-partner rollout is centered in Killeen.

Our purpose

Unity Portal helps local organizations coordinate services, respond to community needs, share opportunities, and follow up with the people they serve — so neighbors can find help with dignity and people who want to help can find where they're needed.

Who Unity Portal serves

  • Residents looking for food, housing, utility, transportation, counseling, and other assistance
  • Churches and ministries serving their neighbors
  • Nonprofits and community organizations
  • Volunteers and donors who want to give their time or resources

The Killeen pilot rollout

Unity Portal serves Bell County, Texas, with its initial verified-partner rollout centered in Killeen. Public resources may be viewed by anyone. During the pilot phase, organization accounts are available to churches and nonprofits located in or directly serving Killeen. Organizations elsewhere in Bell County may be approved by invitation or through special review as the network expands.

How Unity Portal complements 2-1-1

Unity Portal does not replace 2-1-1 or emergency services. 2-1-1 helps people locate available resources across Texas. Unity Portal helps local organizations coordinate services, respond to community needs, share opportunities, and follow up with the people they serve.

How organizations are verified

Every organization is reviewed by a Unity Portal administrator before its listing is published. Read about verification.

Participating churches, nonprofits, agencies, businesses, and volunteers remain independent organizations responsible for their own services, eligibility requirements, conduct, licensing, safety procedures, and outcomes.

Privacy and dignity

Assistance requests are private by default and shared only with administrators and the organizations assigned to help. Read our privacy and request-handling policy.

Not an emergency service

Unity Portal is not an emergency service. Call 911 for a life-threatening emergency. Call or text 988 for mental-health or suicide-crisis support. Dial 2-1-1 for statewide information and referrals.
