Many churches and agencies in the Kingsport area partner together to faithfully serve the needs of our community. In an effort to better serve individuals with specific needs, CHCC offers the following information.

211-Contact Concern

"211-Contact Concern" is an information line and community referral service.  Contact Concern may be reached by calling "211" or by calling 246-2273 (246-CARE). This service is staffed from 8am to 11pm daily.

Nearly all community resources, including the Mental Health Crisis Hotline and Safe House for victims of domestic violence, may be reached by calling 211-Contact Concern. If you are in need of assistance, CHCC encourages you to call 211.  They can best provide you with information and resources that will fit your specific need.
