WHAT IS 2-1-1?

Better Public Access to Information Services

2-1-1 is an easy to remember number for accessing free information about community services to find help when you need it or find places you can help.

It has been a lot of hard work by community leaders and volunteers, but 2-1-1 is finally coming to Volusia and Flagler County in 2007.

WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU:

Just like dialing 9-1-1 is known by everyone as the appropriate action in emergencies requiring police, fire/rescue or medical response, 2-1-1 is an easy to remember number to access information about community services.

It might be that you need this information because you have a problem that you can't solve 

yourself, and you need to see if there is a resource available to help.

It might be that you want to volunteer your time at a specific agency or type of program.

We can help you find lasting relationships with area service providers who might use and 

appreciate volunteers.

Or it might be that you have a donation that you'd like to se used in a specific way, or 

steered to agencies that try to meet a need that is special to you.

All of these are perfect reasons for calling your community's 2-1-1 service.
