A big thank you to the 211 team members who helped thousands of people connect with essential services. In a crisis, in a disaster, in a pandemic, 211 is here to help every person in our community get connected to available resources for finding food, paying housing bills and connecting to other essential services. In 2021, 211 fielded more than 14,000 requests for help. Most of those requests weren’t answered by technology, but real people who are part of the 211 network. That means from the first hello, someone in crisis is reaching a real person who can provide a connection to help. Join us on February 11, 211 Day, and share information about this vital service in our community, thank the local 211 team members providing hope and help every day, and donate to United Way to make sure this resource continues in central Wisconsin.
