2-1-1...Get Connected! |
What is 2-1-1? Like 9-1-1 it is an easy-to-remember number for people in need. A call to 2-1-1 connects people with needed services in the community as well as information about those services. 2-1-1 provides access to necessary agencies for those who are not sure how to find the help they need. It provides confidential 24/7 access to social services information while saving 9-1-1 for emergencies.
