Background

In surveying patients in the Iowa City VA Women’s Health Clinic from late January to early September 2021, we discovered 21.7% were Food Insecure.
90.5% of those who are food insecure utilize a food resource if they have been food insecure prior to the start of the COVID pandemic as compared to those whose current episode of food Insecurity began AFTER the START of COVID: only 60.0% utilized a food resource. With thise website we are looking to fix that.
211 helps increase access to public health resources for issues regarding addictions, clothing and household, courts and crime, education, family, financial assistance, government, health, housing, income and employment, legal and consumer, mental health, senior and disability, transportantion, utilities, and veterans/military.
This website helps identify the public health resources available to you in your local community.

211 is a three-digit phone number used for non-emergency health and human services information and referral to local resources (i.e., food assistance programs, housing assistance, employment support, legal help). This site is intended to help you find services and resources in your community that improve your overall health and well-being.
