211 Eastern Oklahoma serves as a connection hub to thousands of resources for people who need help and don’t know where to turn. Now more than ever, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are fulfilling this vital role as a community directory of critical resources available to people who have been impacted by COVID-19 across Eastern Oklahoma. This webpage is updated regularly to serve as a one-stop clearinghouse to announce new resources and services as the information becomes available to us.
Our mission is to quickly connect those in need with the nearby services that can help. The updates on this webpage are also reflected in the information our call specialists give to Oklahomans who dial 2-1-1, and in our Online Directory.
For COVID-19 questions, dial 2-1-1. For COVID-19 issues or complaints, please email the Oklahoma State Department of Health at: COVID19@health.ok.gov
