211info services are coming to the South Coast!
211info is the free, live, and confidential number that allows callers and web users to get information about health and human services resources in their communities. Info ranges from rent and utility assistance to parenting resources, to meals-on-wheels, to disaster assistance. 211info services also include a comprehensive website where users can search online for resources as well as find information about upcoming events such as dental clinics or vaccination sites on our Coos and Curry page. 211 services will be soft-launching in Coos and Curry Counties in August and going live to the public in September.
