Every hour of every day, someone in the United States needs essential services-from finding an after-school program to securing adequate care for a child or an aging parent. Faced with a dramatic increase in the number of agencies and help-lines, people often don’t know where to turn. In many cases, people end up going without these necessary services because they do not know where to start. 2-1-1 helps people find and give help.
2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember telephone number that where available, connects people with important community services and volunteer opportunities. The implementation of 2-1-1 is spearheaded by United Ways and comprehensive and specialized information and referral agencies in states and local communities.
For more information about our 2-1-1 services of the Permian Basin, please contact Juanita Castilleja @ (432) 570-1039 or by e-mail at juanita.castilleja@twc.state.tx.us.
