Today is 211 Day!
February 10, 2022
Day and night, the 211 call specialists talk to people who are scared, frustrated, and confused. Throughout the pandemic, they have served as essential workers, answering calls around the clock and helping more people than ever before. In 2021, call specialists across 32 states, including Connecticut, made 27.8 million connections to critical resources for people with essential resources to solve their health care, housing, food problems, and more. From the first hello, 211 call specialists offered comfort and hope.As one 211 specialist, Mercy Magu, said: "People who contact 211 want someone who can listen to them, provide them with resources, and assist them to keep hope alive."
It's amazing how much a single phone conversation can accomplish. Help us celebrate 211 Day and the call specialists who help our communities navigate their needs by telling two people you know about these services available 24/7. If you are in need of assistance, call 2-1-1 or 1-800-203-1234. Remember you are not alone.
