Testimonials
When I called 2-1-1 because someone told me they could help with nutrition, I never expected to get fresh food. They sent me to a food pantry where I got 3 onions, 4 potatoes, 4 bananas, orange, brown rice, black beans, 3 artichokes, raspberries, packaged lettuce for salad, carrots, purple cabbage, and chicken breast. I called 2-1-1 again right away and asked if I could go back to the pantry again and they told me I could go every week if I needed food. I would never have found about this if it weren’t for the people at 2-1-1!

How You Can Help 2-1-1
Currently, 92 percent of the state’s population in 27 counties has access to 2-1-1. Nationally, 2-1-1 covers 80 percent of the US population.

Start a 2-1-1 in your area. 31 of California’s 58 counties do not have a 2-1-1 service provider.
Volunteer with your local 2-1-1 service provider. Use our Find Your Local 2-1-1 system on the left side of this website page, or check our Network Directory for the service provider in your area.
