211 started out as a nonprofit contact center in 1980. Originally it was a crisis line, and has transformed into a service providing callers with referrals to basic needs programs such as food, shelter, health care and more. They provide services in all of the areas listed above.
Housing and shelter assistance can be easily accessible through 211info. They partner with Coordinated Entry, Family Shelter Access, and Rent Well. The resources that can be provided to those in need is just a phone call away. Keeping those less fortunate in mind is necessary, especially now. Gathering as much information about these types of services and available outreach is really useful knowledge to have.
These programs are life saving, and need our support. Don't have the time, but you want to help promote equity and help make a difference. Service through donation during the holidays is one way to give back. Struggling to think of gift ideas, give a donation under a family member or friend's name. This is a one of a kind opportunity to give the true spirit of the season to another this holiday. Start Holiday Donations today!
