The best way to stay connected is through our 2-1-1 First Call for Help.
2-1-1 First Call for Help is a 24 hour information and referral hotline and website that connects people in need to available services such as food, rent and utility assistance. We’re now also using 2-1-1 to share information on COVID-19 and what you should know. Just dial 2-1-1, call the toll free number 1-800-275-6106, or visit www.211lorain.org to find valuable information on the ever-changing COVID-19 crisis, and what you can do to help.
*Note: The 2-1-1 referral hotline and website exists in most communities across North America – so please share this resource with your network far and wide! Find your local 211 at 211.org.
