 2-1-1 Texas North East Region AIC

CANHelp serves as the area information center (AIC) for the North East Texas Region for

2-1-1 Texas.  Our region includes Hopkins, Franklin, Titus, Morris, Cass, Bowie, Red River, Lamar and Delta County.  Our staff fields about 130 phone calls each day from people needing help finding local resources such as food pantries, clothing closets, utility and rental assistance, legal services, state benefit services, domestic abuse shelters, MHMR services as well as professional counseling.

Our agency is always looking for new resources to add to our database so that we can connect those resources to the people that need them the most.  If your organization provides a service to the community or would like to provide a service, please get in touch with CANHelp today!

2-1-1 Texas also serves our residents during disaster events.  Please call 2-1-1 for information during disaster events for the lastest information.
