Just Dial 2-1-1
It can be overwhelming to call around and search for assistance if you are in need of help with rent, food, shelter, clothing or other types of community services. What if you needed to access those services? Would you know how to start?

Call 2-1-1
2-1-1 is a free, multilingual, confidential service that refers callers to programs that can help stabilize individuals and families with basic human services such as food and shelter, and provide access to other community resources. The most common reasons people call 2-1-1 are for rent and utility assistance, shelter information, food assistance and seasonal services.

The national 2-1-1 website is - www.211.org
Through this website you can enter your zip code or city or state and find the 2-1-1 information and referral service for your area.
