211 Helpline

I entered my city and zip code and I see the City at the top of the page, but all of the results are in Sioux Falls. I am in Salem Oregon. That’s a bit of a drive. I know there are food pantries in Salem.

Entered a small town Iowa zip and the app correctly identified the town in the south east portion of the state. However all the resources are located in the Pierre or Sioux Fall, SD area (not even close to same zip). Not helpful, I’ll delete and dial instead.

The title says it all. This specific app is geared toward the residence of South Dakota, though you can use your current location (outside of SD) to search for resources but the results may be limited. Your best option is to use the 2-1-1 Locator website to find your local 211. The locator will list the phone number and give you a link to the website where you can find resources for your location. 211 is international, supported by United Way and has a wide variety of resources.

I have been homeless for 10 months now and chased down every lead. The last two times I have called they said a supervisor would reach out to me and I have not received a single call. Not much help. I do a search on the app and nothing comes up in the results.

It says Los Angeles on the App yet this app is only for South Dakota residents. Please change it to that so that people from CA Los Angeles cannot waste their time.

The app is easy to navigate and find resources - love the favorites feature!

This is a great resource. I love being able to look up resources in my community on my own time.
