In Arizona, we have a dedicated 3 digit Information and Referral number by simply dialing 211. Arizona Information and Referral Service operates 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and every day of the year. Live-operator service is available at all times in English and Spanish, and assistance is available in other languages via real-time interpreter services. 2-1-1. Arizona operators will help individuals and families find resources that are available to them locally, throughout the state, and provide connections to critical services that can improve, and save, lives, including:
