One Year Anniversary for
2-1-1 Maine

Since its inception, Androscoggin County residents have placed over 1500 calls to 2-1-1 Maine, inquiring predominantly about housing and shelter, legal services, temporary financial assistant, metal health services, substance abuse services and food and other basic needs. Locally Angela Coombs serves as the 2-1-1 Resource Coordinator with United Way of Androscoggin County, working to identify appropriate health and human service resources in our community.
