2-1-1…The Time is Now

What is 2-1-1?

2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember telephone number that can be used to connect people with important community services and volunteer opportunities. While 2-1-1 currently serves approximately 215 million Americans in 43 states, unfortunately, Pennsylvania has not yet adopted it’s own 2-1-1 system.

Why 211?

2-1-1 provides better service and access to human services, creates efficiencies, complements emergency systems, and creates an "information utility" that would provide data on an estimated 1 million calls in Pennsylvania for needed services.

For more information on how you can be a part of bringing 2-1-1 to Pennsylvania, please visit www.PA211.org
