211 is the magic number

By MS. CHEAP

If you want to know where to get rid of things, try calling 211, a number that was obtained last year by the United Way of Metropolitan Nashville as a centralized place for people to find help or give help.

All you have to do is call – day or night – and a trained person will refer you to organizations that want what you have.

Some corporate phone systems have the 211 number blocked, and in those cases, consumers can call 269-HELP (4357) and get the same service.

In Middle Tennessee, 211 serves Davidson County and the surrounding counties.

AmSouth Bank and the Frist Foundation have been the primary sponsors of this new help line.
