Drive to help campaign kicks off

Posted: Updated:

By Matthew Moss - email

By dialing 211 you can get the help you may need.

5,000 organizations, government programs and social services are ready to help, 24-7.

Today, the helpline center is switching roles and looking to the community for a little help.

February 11th is national 211 day.

The center is rallying for 2,011 volunteers in 211 days for its "drive to help" campaign.

This is the hotline's first major campaign.

Once you've signed up to help... you will get a folder containing a magnet to put in the back of your car as a reminder to others about the help that is available.
