Locating available and appropriate resources can be difficult and frustrating and 2-1-1 Information and Referral strives to ease the process.
You are welcome to make copies of the resources lists below and distribute them to any person that needs assistance. Please remember that many of these services change phone numbers and addresses frequently. We will update them as often as needed, but be sure to print out a new copy for distribution every six months. Old and outdated information will only frustrate those seeking help.
Many of the lists are available in Spanish and are included in the last section titled "Listas de Recurso en Espanol".
