Key Community Resource - Maryland 211
Maryland’s 211 system is a statewide resource that connects residents to health and human resources through the telephone, Internet, and text message.
It is also a resource for government officials to make information available to Marylanders in the event of natural disasters or man-made incidents and a way for Marylanders to connect with opportunities to offer help to others.
