Life can be hard — and finding help shouldn’t make it harder.
That’s why we created HelpWorcester.com, a free online directory connecting people in Worcester, MA with real, local support. Whether you’re in crisis, in transition, or just in need of a little extra assistance, this site is here to guide you toward the resources that can truly make a difference.
Why We Built This
Every day, people in our city face challenges—food insecurity, housing instability, mental health struggles, medical needs, financial hardship. And often, they don’t know where to turn.
Worcester has a ton of services and support systems. The problem? They’re scattered across dozens of websites, phone numbers, and offices. It can be overwhelming and discouraging, especially when you’re already struggling.
We built HelpWorcester.com to change that.
This site is designed to be clear, up-to-date, and easy to use. Whether you’re searching for a food pantry, a detox center, childcare help, or job training programs, we’ve gathered it all in one place — and organized it by need.
