Need Help?
Call 2-1-1 like Elizabeth did.

Elizabeth is a single mother of four children who worked full time. Summer was coming and although her three oldest children were able to stay by themselves or had part-time jobs during the day, her youngest needed to be in full-time day camp while she worked. Elizabeth had no idea where to find a listing of day camps that could accommodate her schedule. Fortunately, 2-1-1 was able to help.
