All phone providers now report that 2-1-1 service is working on land lines, wireless and VOIP phones everywhere in Humboldt County. (If you find this is not so, we'd like to hear from you!)
The Humboldt Community Switchboard is changing its name to 2-1-1 Humboldt, and working to get word out about the new service via posters, flyers, door-hangers, fridge magnets, cards and public service announcements.

The launch reflects many years of effort by a wide array of partners and supporters including government agencies, non-profit organizations, foundations, businesses and individuals. Each of them has a story to tell about why 2-1-1 is important.
