Hundreds turned out for Santa Barbara County's inaugural"2-1-1 Community Day Celebration" held Saturday at the Dick DeWees Community Center in Lompoc that featured over 50 local and county nonprofit organizations.
The event, sponsored by CommUnify's Energy Services Program, coincided with National 2-1-1 Day which promotes connecting people to free health and human services in their community via the county's 2-1-1 Help Line. In addition to cost-free resources and door prizes, attendees enjoyed on-site food trucks, kid’s activities, and live music.“With so many Santa Barbara County organizations on our 2-1-1 Help Line’s referral list, an event like this shines a bright spotlight on the vital work they do for residents countywide, and in a sense brings the ‘call center to the community,’ providing face-to-face contact with these valuable resources available to them," Keelean said.
