About 211 Hotline Give Help Mission The tricounty Hotline has been providing support, crisis help and information to people in need for over 35 years. In 2003, the Hotline merged with Trident United Way to become the 211 Hotline, dedicated to increase the ease and effectiveness by which local
citizens give help and get help. 211 Give Help Recently, we have committed to build up the "Give Help" component of our 211 Hotline --
fostering the volunteer spirit and momentum that continue to grow in our
community. Day of Caring Starting in 2000, Trident United Way has spearheaded the Day of Caring, engaging local businesses and service organizations to come together with helping agencies and schools to tackle projects to make the community more responsive to those in need. In 2005, 250 projects were completed by 4,500 volunteers. Channel 4 Volunteer Spotlight Since January 2005, ABCNews 4 has partnered with 211 Give Help to provide a forum for local helping and community enrichment agencies to recruit volunteers. Every Tuesday evening at 6:00 and 7:00, Channel 4 donates air time for these agencies to staff a phone bank and highlight how volunteers can serve their mission to improve our community. GO Volunteer! Every April, in partnership with the Post and Courier, 211 Give Help publishes an insert that lists all the volunteer opportunities in the Tri-county area. This handy booklet allows interested individuals to learn more about how to get involved as a volunteer in the community. 211 GIVE HELP Website Our web capabilities have just gotten more robust and more responsive to volunteer needs. Volunteer Solutions software gives us tools to expand our capacity to address the volunteer and donation needs of helping agencies as well as individuals and groups.
