Yesterday, we celebrated 211 Day 💙

Every day, our Crisis Services team answers calls from people who need help with food, housing, utilities, transportation, mental health support, and so much more.

Behind every 2-1-1 call is a real person navigating something heavy. And behind every answered call is a trained specialist ready to listen, problem-solve, and connect them to local resources 24/7.

We’re proud to be part of a network that makes help easy to remember and simple to access: just dial 2-1-1.

Thank you to our dedicated team for showing up with compassion and expertise every single day. And thank you to our community partners who make those referrals possible.

Connection is powerful. And it starts with three numbers. 📞💙

February 11 = 211 Day ☎️ 💙

Need help but not sure where to start? Start with three simple numbers: 2-1-1.

211 is a free, confidential resource that connects you to:
• Food and basic needs
• Housing and utility assistance
• Mental health support
• Transportation
• Health care
• Childcare
• and more!

When life feels overwhelming, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Dial 211 and speak with a real person who will listen and help connect you to the services you need, when you need them.

Because getting help should be simple.
Because support should be accessible.
Because everyone deserves to know where to turn.

Today is Giving Tuesday, and at Contact, we’re thinking about our community members who reach out to us every day, and the people who make it possible for us to show up for them.

Because of community support, we’re able to be there when:
📞 Someone calls 988 in a moment of crisis
📲 A neighbor dials 211 looking for housing, food, or basic needs
🏫 A student trusts one of our school counselors with something heavy they’ve been carrying

To everyone who has donated, shared our mission, or supported our work in any way: thank you.

You help us provide hope, connection, and care across Central New York.

If you’re able to give today, we’re grateful for your support. Donate online: https://www.contactsyracuse.org/donate/

Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡🍁
