Help Countless NJ Residents Connect to Vital Resources

NJ 211 is the state’s leading centralized helpline and social service directory that refers millions of New Jersey residents to critical support services and provides assistance for a range of life’s essential needs.

Our staff guides individuals and families to assistance with food, shelter, health care, mental health services, and other basic needs. Our partner programs provide resources for a range of other important (and often urgent) issues, such as access to legal assistance, tax filing help, and child care. And when disasters strike, NJ residents turn to NJ 211 for timely state-vetted information when they need it most.

Our Programs

NJ 211 is far more than a call center. As a nationally accredited social service directory, NJ 211’s extensive programs connect New Jerseyans to vital assistance.

211 Service - On Call for NJ Residents Around the Clock

The 211 Service is available 24/7 as an information and referral service for health and human services, plus a valuable searchable online directory of social services from over 6,300 government and nonprofit programs. The service is free, confidential, multilingual, and accessible to people of all abilities.

When disaster strikes, NJ 211 becomes a round-the-clock, centralized information hub for our state government about preparedness, safety, shelter, food, water, and other essential human services related to the disaster. We post timely, relevant information on the website for all New Jersey residents, including information on enrolling in ReadyNJ before an emergency occurs. But all these deliverables–from our call center to resource connections–take funding. 

We encourage your organization to become part of our mission with your financial support. Play a valuable role with a tax-deductible contribution.
