    Call 2-1-1 for Health and Human Services information and referral

    By Tobi Kibel Piatek | August 21, 2008

    2-1-1  is a three digit number to know about and remember if your work with kids and families, especially those in need of help, services or information.

    Think about 211 as the 911 to call to locate basic resources such as food, shelter, employment, or health care. 2-1-1 is intended to cut through the maze of agencies and services individuals and families often have to go through to to get the help and information they need.

    Its mission is to provide individuals and families with access to quality information about health and human services resources at all times.

    For more information, help numbers, stories and access to a huge number of resources, check out the website.
