For the millions of Americans needing help every day - from locating financial assistance, to finding quality child care for kids - 2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember phone number connecting those in need to essential community resources.
Today, 2-1-1 covers 80% of the country, but there are still to many people that don't have access. You can get involved simply by spreading the word about 2-1-1.
In recognition of 2-1-1's importance both year-round and in times of disaster, the Calling for 2-1-1 Act (S.211/H.R.211) is before Congress. The bills are at a crucial stage. You can help by contacting your Members of Congress and encouraging them to support the bill.
