A call for help

San Bernardino County (September 5, 2007) - If you have a cell phone on AT&T, you're only a call away from getting quick help from the Inland Empire United Way. AT&T has been added to T-Mobile and Sprint as systems whose cell phones get access to thousands of community services in San Bernardino County by dialing 2-1-1.

Callers will be referred to the help they need in their area by bilingual United Way specialists available around the clock.

Nearly 35,000 calls have been received by 2-1-1 San Bernardino County since the program's launch last September.

San Bernardino County and First 5 San Bernardino provide funding for 2-1-1 in the county.
