Mass211
For information on additional topics, Mass211 is a great resource.
Mass 211 (Call 2-1-1 from your phone) is an easy-to-remember telephone number that connects callers to information about critical health and human services available in their community. It serves as a resource for finding government benefits and services, nonprofit organizations, support groups, volunteer opportunities, donation programs, and other local resources.
Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Mass 211 is an easy way to find or give help in your community. Live translation is available in 140 languages.
A-B United Way is proud to support Mass211.
Emerson Health also created a website to find local help. Visit emersonhealth.findhelp.com to find local resources for a wide variety of needs — including food, housing, mental health, childcare, senior care, transportation, and more.
