Need help & don't know where to turn?
Every day, someone somewhere in Massachusetts needs to find essential community services, an after school program, a food bank, or where to secure care for an aging parent. Many face these challenges, but don't always know where to turn for help.

The solution is to dial 2-1-1.  

With the support of social service organizations that provide health and human services throughout Massachusetts and in collaboration with Massachusetts Association of Information and Referral Specialists (MAIRS) the United Way introduces this statewide Information & Referral System.

211 non emergency information:
–Is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
–maintains the integrity of the 911 system, saving vital community resources for life and death emergencies
–Is a confidential call.
