This distribution list is comprised of individuals that request inclusion in the distribution list. This service allows non-profit agencies/programs to share their resources and events occurring in the health and human service field. .

Criteria for posting an Email Blast:
To ensure appropriate, unbiased use of the 2-1-1 Email Blast system, the following criteria is observed: 

1.   All email blasts must be posted by a representative of the non-profit agency/program hosting the event.

2.   Central Michigan 2-1-1 will not send blasts of a political nature or containing a political message.

3.   Central Michigan 2-1-1 email blasts are not intended to provide a vehicle for requesting resources for individual persons, families or situations.

4.   The same event/blast event will only be sent a maximum of two (2) times.

5.   If an agency/program submits material to be blasted & later submits changes to the original submission after a blast has already been sent, 2-1-1 will resend the blast. This second blast (to correct errors made by blast requesting agency/program) WILL count towards the 2 allowable blasts per event/blast.

6.   All email blast requests submitted to 211@lifewaysmco.com will be posted within three (3) business days.

At staff’s discretion, staff can address over-use & abuse of the 2-1-1 email blast system by specific agencies/programs and make suggestions for continued use.
