Bill > S2511

This resolution, a Senate Resolution from Rhode Island, officially designates February 10, 2026, as "211 Day" within the state to acknowledge and honor the crucial services provided by United Way 211. United Way 211 is a free, confidential, and round-the-clock service that connects Rhode Islanders with essential health and human services, including help with housing, food, mental health, and disaster response. Since 2007, United Way of Rhode Island has operated this vital system, which supports individuals and families in need by offering assistance in nearly 200 languages and dialects, and has proven critical during emergencies and public health crises. The resolution also highlights that the data gathered by 211 helps inform policy and resource allocation, enabling leaders to better serve their communities, and that in 2025 alone, nearly 100,000 needs were addressed through 211 and the Aging Disability Resource Center. Finally, it directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies of this resolution to United Way of Rhode Island and other community partners.
