“2-1-1” is an easy-to-remember telephone number that connects people with important community services and volunteer opportunities.
Every hour of every day someone needs essential services such as assistance for a child, aging parent, or the entire family. Faced with the growing number of agencies and help-lines, individuals may have difficulty finding help because they do not know where to start or who to contact. U.P. 2-1-1 opens the door by providing easy access to needed information and assistance.
The Mission of the 2-1-1 Call Center is to provide easy accessible, responsive, and professional information and assistance to Upper Peninsula citizens and families in need.
The Self-Service Utility Program Screening Tool was developed in partnership with the Upper Peninsula Power Company (UPPCO), the Upper Peninsula 2-1-1 Call Center and Michigan 2-1-1. If you are looking to save money on monthly utility bills or clear up a past due balance, this tool aims to efficiently connect UPPCO customers to the most appropriate assistance programs in 2-1-1’s directory of community programs.
