This agency is managed by the United Way, I personally have worked with people that need this help line and it is a blessing to so many.  When you need help (finacially, physically or what ever) you can call them and they will help you find what you need.  If you don't have money to pay your utilities and they are threatening to shut them off, these people help, if you need help finding a place to live, they help.  You can find information below or you can go to their website at http://www.211.org

God bless!

Joyfully serving Him,

Barb (manager)

Every hour of every day, someone in the United States needs essential services-from finding substance abuse assistance to securing adequate care for a child or an aging parent. Faced with a dramatic increase in the number of agencies and help lines, people often don't know where to turn. In many cases, people end up going without these necessary and readily available services because they do not know where to start.

While services that are offered through 2-1-1 vary from community to community, 2-1-1 provides callers with information about and referrals to human services for every day needs and in times of crisis. For example, 2-1-1 can offer access to the following types of services:

• Basic Human Needs Resource: food banks, clothing closets, shelters, rent assistance, utility assistance.

• Physical and Mental Health Resources: health insurance programs, Medicaid and Medicare, maternal health, Children's Health Insurance Program, medical information lines, crisis intervention services, support groups, counseling, drug and alcohol intervention and rehabilitation.
