GET CONNECTED. GET HELP.
Call 211
Tomorrow is February 11 which is "211 Day" here in Lake County.
211 is a free, confidential one-stop resource that connects those in need to people that can help. All year long, trained expert navigators at Lake County’s 211 connect people to locally available resources, including help with rent, food, utility bills, employment and job training, childcare and after-school programs, legal services, health and mental health assistance, and so much more.
The service works by calling 2-1-1 or texting your zip code to 898211 to speak with a real person who can help. Trained expert navigators are standing by to guide you to the help you need. 211 is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year in more than 150 languages.
"We want everyone to know about 211," said Lake County Board Chair Sandy Hart. "It's the best resource to find the assistance you need. Help us spread the word of this free service that is open to everyone in Lake County."
“We are grateful to Lake County government for their partnership and generous support of our 211 service, as well as the many partners and individuals who contribute to help sustain 211 for our community,” said Kristi Long, President and CEO of United Way of Lake County. “211 Day is a celebration of 211’s tremendous impact, including making nearly 200,000 connections to help since its launch, and an opportunity to grow awareness so that many more people can find the support and resources they need.”
