In celebration of National 211 Day on Feb. 11, a proclamation was issued by Warren County Judge-Executive Doug Gorman and Bowling Green Mayor Todd Alcott declaring Feb. 11, 2023, as “211 Day” in Bowling Green and Warren County.

The proclamation serves to highlight and raise awareness regarding the services of 211, which are available to all residents across the 10-county BRADD region.

The Federal Communications Commission assigned 211 as a three-digit telephone number for the purpose of providing quick and easy access to information about health and human services.

Throughout the last year, 211 staff have spent 47,809 minutes helping 9,395 callers with 11,071 requests.

Bowling Green City Commissioner Melinda Hill and Gorman read the proclamation at City Hall on Friday.
