Here's what people are saying about 211

"I wanted to let you know I utilized the CONNECT 211 line. It was a wonderful experience! The 211 navigator provided excellent customer service and was able to set up my father with transportation to his medical appointment. The 211 navigator was very patient, kind and willing to assist in any way possible. She was truly a joy to work with. The CONNECT navigator was also very helpful! He informed me of the Ride United program and provided me with all the information I needed. Being an advocate for my aging parents and trying to navigate their needs can be challenging, however, competent individuals such as the 211 and CONNECT navigators made things smooth and uncomplicated. Please thank them on a job well done. Kudos!"

"Because of issues with my child support, I was not able to pay for my daughter’s day care and she lost her spot. I now have to make a past-due payment to get her back in preschool. Her preschool program has been a blessing and I was so worried. Thank you for the referral and for listening to me.”
