2-1-1 for Information

2-1-1 LogoDo you have a question or non-emergency problem you don't know how to handle, and you're not sure where to turn?

Thanks to the United Way's 2-1-1 hotline, information specialists are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide free and confidential information for connecting people to services that will best meet their needs.

So the next time you have a question, whether it's about services for children or the elderly, food, counseling, recreation, health, consumer protection, or other topics, simply dial 2-1-1 to

GET CONNECTED and GET ANSWERS.

NOTE: Some cellular phone users may still need to dial 848-2255 or 1-800-922-5590, as not all wireless providers have programmed their systems to transfer 2-1-1 calls.

You can also search for community services online (Marathon and Portage Counties).
