San Diego caregivers have a valuable resource available at their fingertips and it’s called 211 San Diego.

Part of a national referral service, 211 San Diego connects San Diego caregivers to essential community resources such as:

• Finding adequate care for aging parents
• Locating financial assistance for a family crisis
• Searching for high-quality child care

Alone, trying to navigate through the 2,000 community agencies that provide 5,000 health and human services can be daunting to anyone, but that is where 211 San Diego can help. By dialing 211, you are connected to a live highly-trained Information & Referral Specialist who will assess your needs and connect you to the most appropriate resources available in our community. And San Diego caregivers can be reassured that assistance is confidential and offered in more than 150 languages.

In addition, 211 San Diego is an essential resource in times of disaster. During a disaster, 211 San Diego works with the County of San Diego’s Office of Emergency Services to provide public information to the community, as well as assisting County officials in analysis, reporting community needs that are not being met, and act as the central communications point for other community agencies and non-governmental organizations.

211 San Diego is a free service, supported by donations and the collaborative efforts of local businesses, foundations and civic organizations.
