In a time of question or crisis, not knowing where to turn can be overwhelming. United Way 2-1-1 Information & Referral is here to connect you with those who can help. When calling 2-1-1 you will speak with an Information & Referral Specialist who will listen to your concerns and can connect you with the most appropriate resources for your needs. Sprint and Qwest cell phone customers may dial 2-1-1 and Cellular One customers must dial 800-543-7709.
Meth Helpline now added
Now, thanks in part to a grant from St. Louis County and the efforts of County Commissioners Bill Kron and Steve O’Neil, United Way 2-1-1 is also providing the Meth HelpLine. We are actively creating a network to include information on Meth treatment programs for those directly affected by Meth, as well as resources for friends and family of those affected.
As you may already know, 2-1-1 is a service of the United Way of Greater Duluth. Our experienced Information & Referral Specialists are here to help you connect with the most appropriate resources for your specific situation. Once an Information & Referral Specialist has had the opportunity to discuss your concerns with you, that Specialist can then research our database of over 700 regional health, human and community resources, gathering as much information available and then connect you to the resource that best meets your needs. Our network of resources is constantly expanding and updating, allowing us to provide you with accurate and current information.
If you or someone you know is in crisis or simply seeking information, call United Way 2-1-1 to begin finding answers.
