For assistance with items such as rent, medical bills, utilities, and other needs which cannot be addressed by the American Red Cross Pikes Peak chapter, please contact the 211 service. Sponsored by the Pikes Peaks United Way, 211 is a special three-digit phone number connecting those in need in our communities with those agencies and organizations that can assist them. It is not for life-threatening emergencies, it is a service providing information and referral to local services. Now, instead of making multiple phone calls to try and find help, you can simply pick up your phone and dial 2-1-1 to find assistance.
