Frigid temperatures. Skyrocketing costs for groceries, utilities, housing, child care.
Through it all, 211 is there – 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year – connecting people across Connecticut to the critical resources they need.
People like Samantha: after the loss of both her parents, she felt lost and alone and couldn’t find the support she needed. Until she called 2-1-1. A compassionate, trained Contact Specialist listened – and connected her to critical resources: legal advice, emergency housing and a therapist who helped her begin to heal. 211 was there when she needed it most.
Last year in Connecticut, 211 responded to more than 1.8 million requests for help – a 300% increase since 2019! Despite this increasing need, 211 Connecticut’s core funding has been flat since 2009.
That means 211 has lost frontline staff to answer these urgent calls. We need additional funding to expand our Contact Center staff so that we can assist more callers, more quickly each day.
When CT needs help, 211 answers the call. Give today:
