MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. (KION-TV) -- PG&E is giving a $30,000 grant to United Way Monterey County to help expand access to the county's 211 services, according to the company.

In the event of an emergency, 211 is a lifeline that can connect people to important resources like food, shelter, health care, financial assistance and other resources.

The program can also help people who rely on electricity for medical equipment make safety plans during a power outage.

United Way says that just in 2024, 211 Monterey County handled over 13,300 calls and texts that resulted in over 19,000 referrals.
