There's no manual for dealing with life's problems. That's why 2-1-1 Info, a local non-profit, provides community services knowledge to those who need help. Every year, 2-1-1 Info makes more than 230,000 connections to vital services as diverse as foreclosure to the most up-to-date information on flooding or a storm.

2-1-1 is free, confidential and live. Callers are connected with a trained, compassionate call center specialist. The specialist will provide an understanding of resource offerings that fit a full spectrum of needs and assist in the identification of available public and private resources.

In addition to the toll-free calling option, you can visit the website at: www.211infor.org for more information.
