 Our 2.1.1 Call Center is an emergency stop gap for people seeking rental assistance, utility assistance, and social services programs that prevent homelessness and wage loss during a crisis. Trained operators connect those in need with the services to meet the immediate need while providing further assistance for long term stability.   

We are also proud to present our newest program Dolly Parton Imagination Library. This book gifting program allows all children in Kitsap County from birth to 5 years old to receive a free book mailed to them each month. It is Dolly's mission to gets books in the hands of all children up to 5 years old to begin their love of reading because you cannot get enough books into enough kids hands. We hope you will make it your mission too.
