New iPhone app connects people with community services
Ever wondered who to call for help? It’s a great question considering North Carolina has more than 20,000 nonprofits providing every form of service. Finding help is now easier than ever for iPhone users with the launch of the new NC 2-1-1 iPhone App.Read press release.
Today, 80% of North Carolinians can pick up the phone and dial 2-1-1 to get connected to local help, yet much of the eastern portion of the state is without access. A grant received from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina will enable NC 2-1-1 to build out its communications infrastructure and its health and human services database to include all 100 counties, making it simple to turn on local access in times of disaster and simplifying service expansion in the 40 counties currently without 2-1-1 access.
