February 11th marks 211 Day, highlighting the information service connecting people to local community programs, social services, government supports and more.
The service is available seven days a week, 365 days a year in over 150 languages.
211 helps people finding resources before they reach a crisis point.
Locally, United Way funds 211 and all local data is maintained and updated across the community.
Susan Faber, United Way Perth-Huron’s Director of Resource Development & Communications says 211 is an invaluable resource anyone can go to for caring and compassionate help to make sure whatever they’re facing, they aren’t alone.
