DSS participated in the third annual 211 Community Day Celebration hosted by CommUnify on February 8, 2025, at the Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara. The event featured over 70 organizations offering resources to attendees. There was live music, free lunch for attendees, and other giveaways. A shout-out to Angela Lopez and Frank Mendoza for setting up and managing our department’s booth. They engaged with a large turnout of community members, answering questions about our services, assisting with new applications, and connecting residents to vital resources.
211 is a quick, comprehensive information and referral
system. It connects people to health services, mental wellness, transportation,
disaster relief, public information, and more. It’s available to all Santa
Barbara County residents. Just dial 211 for help.
