Dial 211 for Free, Non-Emergency Help

United Way Silicon Valley is providing a great new resource for our San José diocese parish communities.

Dial 211 for a free, non-emergency, telephone service that connects people with hundreds of community services. A trained, caring professional will help callers in 140 languages, 24 hours a day, find information and referrals for:
  • basic needs,
  • child and elder care,
  • counseling,
  • employment assistance,
  • health services,
  • immigration assistance,
  • volunteering,
  • donating,
  • and so much more.

Dial 211 is for everyday needs and in times of crisis. Rubén Solorio, Parish and Community Relations Manager, will be providing posters, brochures and information to all Catholic parishes and schools. To learn more, visit www.211scc.org or contact Rubén with Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County at (408) 325-5129.
