Timed to coincide with National 211 Day, CommUnify will host the fourth annual 211 Community Day Celebration, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7 at Dick DeWees Community Center, 1120 W. Ocean Ave., Lompoc.

Hosted by the nonprofit’s Energy Services and Head Start programs, the event is free to attend.

There will be more than 50 booths of community organizations offering information and giveaways, as well as no-cost vaccines and health screenings for both children and adults. Cosmoton Academy will be providing free haircuts.

Entertainment includes a live radio broadcast with Sunny Country and La Ley radio, along with kids’ activities from Lompoc Public Library Bookmobile, Head Start, and others.

Free lunch will be provided by Savory & Sweet Eats for the first 300 attendees. 
 
The Community Day celebration will also announce the start of the 211 Youth Resource App.

“Now 211 can be accessed in a format young people ages 12 to 24 are familiar with and can then get connected to the services they need by direct calling or texting from any device,” CommUnify said.

This app meets the youth of Santa Barbara County where they are and provides them with a searchable directory of free and low cost programs and services at their fingertips.
