NEW 2-1-1 SOCIAL SERVICES HELP LINE

Jan 11, 2005

The 2-1-1 social-services telephone help line is now operational in Middle Tennessee and joins the 9-1-1 emergency line and 4-1-1 phone information directory as easy-to-remember phone numbers to seek assistance.

2-1-1 is a free, 24-hour telephone information and referral service that connects people with important community services and volunteer opportunities. Using a database of more than 2,000 agencies, it matches callers to social services, and volunteer and donation opportunities. It is for people needing any social and human services - including health care, shelter, personal crisis intervention, counseling and other services. By dialing 2-1-1 you will get an operator who can listen to your problem and direct you to the right agency
