August 2008 Newsletter
Here’s a new source of information: “United Way- 2-1-1.” Material about this free service was forwarded to me by a lawyer friend and fellow practitioner from Middletown- Cristina Offenberg. The material from the United Way of Rhode Island reads as follows:
2-1-1 is the fastest and easiest way to get information when you need it, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. One call gives you access to resources across your community, whether you need to get help- for you, for a family member or for a friend- or want to help. No more wrong numbers, no more wasted time trying to find the right person to call.
Examples were listed: “daycare for your child, financial assistance for a utility bill, find a mental health counselor to help you in a crisis, or connect with any other community service.” Or, “If you are able to help others by donating your time as a mentor or volunteer or by donating food, clothing, toys, furniture, 2-1-1 is also for you.”
It sounds useful. Try it and let us know how helpful it is to you. “Cris” Offenberg stated in her email that other states were utilizing the same system so try it wherever you live.
