Copyright © 2009, Info Line, Inc., Akron OH 44311. All rights reserved.
Info Line, Inc. is proud to present the 2009 edition of Where to Turn, the directory of
health and human service organizations serving residents of Summit County. Info Line is
committed to helping individuals and families who live and work in Summit County to improve
their quality of life by locating and using existing community resources.
The Where to Turn directory contains critical information about hundreds of essential
community services and resources. It should prove to be valuable to people experiencing a
wide range of needs and concerns. Professionals and volunteers in such fields as health
and human services, public safety, education, government, business and the arts will also
find this directory helpful in resolving the needs and concerns of those individuals and
families they come into contact with on a daily basis.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in this directory is as complete and
accurate as possible as of the date of publication. However, important information may have
changed since the date of this publication and/or new services may have become available
since the printing of this directory. Info Line’s computerized database of service information
is updated on a daily basis and contains a more complete listing of services and resources
available for residents of Summit County. Please visit www.infolineinc.org or
www.211summit.org for more information. You are also encouraged to contact Info Line for
further assistance if you are unable to find the service you need in this directory. You can
use the following 24-hour phone numbers to contact Info Line:
• Dial the three-digit number 2-1-1 anywhere in Summit County
• Dial 330-376-6660
• Dial 330-650-2603 in Northern Summit County
• Dial 330-376-4643 for TTY/TDD services
You may notice that the Where to Turn directory does not list every resource in our
community. Some providers have asked Info Line not to publish information about their
organization and services for different reasons. In some cases, anonymity was preferred
where the person(s) providing the services were volunteers and worked out of their homes.
Some service organizations want the public to access their services through a general
clearinghouse like Info Line because of concerns about excess demand and limited
resources of the provider such as small food pantries and homeless shelters. Other
organizations, such as shelters for abused women, want to keep their location confidential to
protect those making use of their services. Finally, this directory generally contains
information about non-profit and government offices. It does not include for-profit, proprietary
businesses unless they offer an important service not met by public or non-profit agencies.
Info Line does not rate, recommend or endorse any organization or service listed in this
directory or in its database. This information is provided simply as a public service.
I hope that you find this directory useful. If you have any questions or concerns about the
contents of this directory, please contact us at your earliest convenience.
Info Line, Inc. is a community-based not-for-profit organization assisting more than 80,000
individuals and families each year to secure services and resources. Our mission is to
improve the quality of life for those who live and work in Summit County by helping them to
locate and effectively use existing community resources. Since 1975, Info Line has helped
people in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is the sole source for comprehensive
information and referral, senior information and referral, and childcare resource and referral
services in Summit County.
Info Line maintains a computerized database of over 1,100 health and human services
organizations and programs. The database contains extensive detailed information about
each service offered by an organization including all necessary contact information, eligibility
requirements, hours of operation, fees for services, information and documents required to
receive services, and languages spoken by service staff. This information is updated on a
daily basis, and is available to the public for free by dialing 2-1-1 anywhere in Summit County
or by calling 330-376-6660 or 330-650-2603 (Northern Summit County). A searchable
resource database is also available at www.211summit.org.
Info Line is only one of six organizations in the State of Ohio that has
been accredited by the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems
(AIRS) – the international professional organization for the field of
information and referral. This accreditation documents Info Line’s
compliance with all professional standards that have been developed
for the provision of quality information and referral services. Info
Line’s services are provided by highly trained and experienced
professional staff. The staff receives training in crisis intervention,
communications and listening skills, problem solving and advocacy,
customer service, and cultural sensitivity.
In addition to its information and referral services, Info Line also operates:
• Child Care Connection: Assists parents in securing child care resources and offers
training and technical assistance for early childhood personnel as well as family child
care providers.
• MedAssist: Helps uninsured, low-income Summit County residents to access free and
low-cost prescription medications.
• Lifeline: Offers an emergency response monitoring service for frail elderly and others
with serious life-threatening health conditions.
• HMIS: Maintains a community database used to collect data about homeless services
in Akron and Summit County. Provides technical support, training, and networking for
participating agencies.
• Community Voice Mail: Helps people living in poverty, transition and homelessness
rebuild their lives by connecting them to jobs, housing, information and hope.
Helpful hints and suggestions:
• Each entry includes the name, address, phone number(s) and a brief
description of the organization and its services. Descriptions highlight the
major services of each provider and do not attempt to mention every
program. Because information changes, we encourage users of “Where To
Turn” to keep in touch with us by informing us of any changes or corrections.
We welcome your comments and suggestions.
• The main body of the directory lists agencies alphabetically along with phone
numbers, a brief agency description, and other useful information including
web sites and email addresses.
• Some of the smaller support groups whose leadership changes often may not
have a phone number listed in this directory. Call Info Line and we will supply
you with the current contact information or have them get in touch with you.
• Use the Service Index to find agencies that provide the services you need.
Please call Info Line if you cannot find the appropriate service.
• Call the agency ahead of time because the service you are interested in may
be offered on certain days or at specific locations. Ask for information about
the service(s) and how to receive them.
• When you call, it is a good idea to have in front of you your Social Security
number and information such as family size, ages of your children, what town
you live in and your income sources and amount.
• When you call, have paper and a pen or pencil in front of you to write down
what the agency tells you.
• If you need additional help with something you find or can’t find in this
directory, call Info Line. We can assist you 24 hours a day, every day. We
have information about all kinds of services and will be glad to help you.
If you do not live in Summit County, please call your local information provider for
help. Some Northeastern Ohio services are listed below.
