Refe rral Information ?
Forsyth's Information Referral Service Tele-__
phone went into operation Nov. 7 at 727-8100.
The service, which is being called the FIRST
Line, provides meaningful information and direct
access to more than 150 different public and
private agencies that seek to serve the people of
Forsyth County. j <The
purpose of the new service is to consolidate
piecemeal information and referral activities of
numerous agencies throughout the community
into one telephone number where citizens can call
when they need help but don't know where to
start.
The three-person office has been set up under
the Forsyth County Government with funds from
the Winston-Salem Foundation. Although the
office is open only Monday through Friday from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m., the 727-8100 number is answered
in the evenings and on weekends by Contact:
' Winston-Salem to handle any calls of an
emergency nature.
The operations of the FIRST Line are coordinated
with all programs of local governments and
private agencies such as the Red Cross, Voluntary
Action Center, YMCA, Crisis Cntrol Ministry, the
Boy Scouts, YWCA, the Salvation Army, Consumer
Credit Counseling Service and many more.
Both public and private agencies are also
represented on a Citizens Advisory Board
established by the Forsyth County Commissioners ?
to help formulate the services being offered by the
FIRST Line.
