The House Concurrent Resolution recognizes February 11, 2026, as National 211 Day in Vermont, honoring the significant contributions of Vermont 211, a health and human services helpline operated by the United Way of Vermont. This helpline provides essential information and referral services to Vermonters, connecting them with over 1,100 community-based agencies and offering access to 3,270 programs and 11,900 services. With a dedicated team of trained specialists, Vermont 211 has been a vital resource for over 20 years, assisting individuals in need, particularly during emergencies, and managing a high volume of contacts and referrals.

The resolution highlights Vermont 211's role in supporting various state departments and collaborating with emergency management during crises, as well as its importance in facilitating food support services through partnerships with organizations like the Vermont Food Security Roadmap Coalition. The General Assembly's recognition of National 211 Day aims to celebrate the impactful work of Vermont 211 and ensure that its contributions to the community are acknowledged and appreciated. A copy of the resolution will be sent to Vermont 211 to commemorate this occasion.
