211 Gets National and Local TV Coverage as Need Rises

We recently analyzed our caller statistics from last month and nearly 60% of callers were newly unemployed or had a reduction in wages, while more than 50% of callers had never used our services before. As need in our community continues to rise, our services are more crucial than ever. So, we were thrilled to learn 211′s national and local profile would get a big boost.

The United Way 211 call center is South Bend Indiana will be profiled on the CBS Evening News tonight. Tune at 6:30 pm to watch the feature piece by Seth Doane! NOTE: Since this was posted we received word the story will not air at the aforementioned time, but will air in the near future.

Meanwhile, check out the video below. KOIN Local 6, the Portland area CBS affiliate, ran a story featuring 211info on Wednesday!

The timing couldn’t have been better.
