TIPS FOR COMPLETING THE SCAVENGER HUNT
For the best experience, we recommend completing the scavenger hunt on a computer with the 211 database open in a separate window.
- Use Specific Keywords & Filters:
Search using key details from the scenario (e.g., “veteran dental assistance” or “emergency shelter Toledo”) and filter by county to find the most relevant resources. - Read Descriptions Carefully:
Make sure the organization’s services match the exact need in the scenario by checking service descriptions and eligibility requirements. - Think Like a Problem Solver:
Approach each scenario as if it’s real—consider what steps you’d take to help someone in that situation to guide your search effectively.
After you complete the scavenger hunt, please take a few moments to complete a short survey, about your experience.
