United Way 2-1-1
2-1-1 is a free 24/7/365 telephone service linking callers in need to available health and human service programs. Callers will have access to resources such as Basic needs: food, shelter, utility assistance; Health care: crisis intervention, medical care, counseling, drug and alcohol treatment; Work support: job training, financial assistance, transportation, education; Senior services: adult day care, home health, meals on wheels; and Family support: child care, after-school services, protective services.
Studies show that people seeking services call 7 to 8 agencies before finding the right one. Without 2-1-1, many people give up and never get the help they need. Access to the easy to remember number 2-1-1 will help to eliminate guessing and dialing wrong numbers.
It’s simple! Just dial 2-1-1 from any land line or cell phone. The 2-1-1 call center can also be reached at 800-310-5454. You can also look up resources on your own if you wish at www.swmi.org
