- Communicate! Register your organization with Mass 211, funded by 14 local United Ways represented by the Council of Massachusetts United Ways. The service will help Massachusetts residents find essential community services – from after-school programs to food banks to securing care for an aging parent. Callers speak confidentially with an information and referral specialist who will assess the caller’s needs and determine the service provider best equipped to handle their problems or crisis.
