United Way's 2-1-1 utiliza un servicio en línea para idiomas dirigido a las personas que llaman con dificultades
para hablar el inglés. Cuando llames al 2-1-1, por favor pregunta por "Spanish Language Line."

sobre tus preguntas de la comunidad y ofrecerte la misma información y servicio de referencia que ofrecemos
a nuestros vecinos de habla inglesa.
