Get Help

Whatever your need, whether you are struggling to meet your bills or just need some advice on how to find services for your child, we're here for you. The resources below can connect you to help.

Help should never be more than one phone call away. To simplify the process of getting help, United Way and MAIRS launched Mass2-1-1, a free hotline for finding government benefits and services, non-profit organizations, support groups, volunteer opportunities, donation programs, and other local resources.
211 is:

• a confidential call.
• available Monday - Friday 8am to 8pm.
• an easy way to find or give help in your community.

Boston Beehive is an website for information and resources around the things that matter in our lives: money, health, jobs, school and family.
