211 Maine

211 Maine Find help. Give help. Dial 211 or go online at www.211maine.org What is 211?

One number – thousands of services. 211 is an easy-to-remember number that connects people who want to give help or get help with a full range of health and human services in their community. In establishing 211, Maine joins a growing national movement to standardize the availability of information and referral for these services.

211 includes a statewide-directory of over 8,000 resources includi

ng agency services and support groups. The 211 Contact Center is accessible statewide and from cell phones and phone service provided by Internet carriers. You can connect with a Specialist in Maine by dialing 211 or texting your zip code to 898-211.

211 provides emergency operations during times of natural and other disasters, including accurate and timely information for preparations, and longer term referral for follow-up services if required.

211 provides valuable information for community planning and for future matching of resource development and unmet needs.
