Connecting you to the help you need across the Maritimes

Find support. Get connected. Move forward.

Sometimes, finding help for life’s challenges can feel overwhelming and confusing. That’s why United Way Maritimes is proud to support 211 services across all three Maritime provinces, ensuring people can access the support they need when they need it.

211 is a free, confidential, 24/7 navigation service and online database that connects you to local non-profit, community, and government programs. Whether you’re looking for food supports, housing assistance, mental health services, or education and employment opportunities, 211 helps you find the right support for your unique journey.

Available by phone, text, chat, and online, 211 is accessible in over 240 languages, making it easier for everyone to get connected.

Our Role in 211 Across the Maritimes

United Way Maritimes plays a vital role in strengthening and sustaining 211 services across the region.

In Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, United Way Maritimes provides critical funding and support to ensure 211 services remain accessible and responsive to community needs.  

In Prince Edward Island, 211 is delivered directly by our United Way of PEI team, ensuring Islanders have a trusted, local connection to the services they need.  

Together, this coordinated approach ensures that no matter where you live in the Maritimes, help is always within reach.

Real Support. Real Impact.

Every day, 211 connects individuals and families to programs and services that help them navigate challenges, find stability, and take the next step forward. Because when people can find the help they need, entire communities grow stronger.

The navigator was kind, patient, and understanding. She went above and beyond. I really needed to talk to someone and she was so helpful.
