*Second Harvest does not always answer their calls, and unanswered calls send callers to an automated menu. The automated menu tells callers they can press 1 to find out where they can get help today. When a caller does this, the next menu gives them the option to dial 1 again to reach '2-1-1 of the Big Bend for help'. (In case callers are confused about why they have reached us after calling the Second Harvest.)
