Find Help!

Connect families to available resources in your community.

This resource, powered by FindHelp.org (previously Aunt Bertha), is a nationwide online directory to help individuals connect with resources and services in their community. Through a zip code search, the site provides information on local food or housing programs, health and care services, financial help, education and work programs, and legal services.

Always seek the advice of qualified professionals regarding your physical and mental health as well as legal questions or concerns you may have.
