Since our regional 2-1-1 billboards were put up earlier this month, I’ve passed by both of them on my travels between Greensboro and High Point. After planning for the installation for months, all I could do was smile when I saw the real thing installed and to-the-point for drivers passing by. These new billboards share the 2-1-1 number and it’s main goal–to help if help is needed.
The first step in finding help is knowing who to call. 9-1-1 is for emergencies, 4-1-1 is for directory assistance and 2-1-1 is for finding community health and human service resources. (from www.nc211.org)
