Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2017 - 2018 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 31, 2017 03:21 PM
From: Senator Patrick M. Browne
To: All Senate members
Subject: Designating the day of February 11, 2017 as "PA 2-1-1 Day" in Pennsylvania
 
I will be introducing a resolution designating the day of February 11, 2017, as “PA 2-1-1 Day” in Pennsylvania.

PA 2-1-1 is a free service available to 85% of citizens of this Commonwealth and refers Pennsylvanians in need of assistance to available government programs, including private and non-profit organizations in their communities.

PA 2-1-1 has the potential to assist communities in a time of a disaster and can connect volunteers and donors with organizations who can leverage resources to meet the needs of the community.

The PA 2-1-1 system offers a stable statewide infrastructure that can be used in a broad variety of ways to streamline and enhance the work of state government and ease the burden on Commonwealth departments by helping reduce the number of misdirected calls.

PA 2-1-1 is the nonprofit organization assigned use of the 2-1-1 dialing code by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission in order to provide community service information and referral, as currently accomplished through six regional programs.

The United Ways in this Commonwealth have played a critical role in providing funding for the PA 2-1-1 system in Pennsylvania.

I hope that you will join me in co-sponsoring this resolution.



Introduced as SR25
