Connecting Massachusetts residents with essential community services - free, private, and accessible to all.
ConnectMA was created to solve a simple problem: finding help in Massachusetts shouldn't be complicated. Too often, people in need spend hours searching for basic services—food, shelter, healthcare—only to find outdated information or dead ends.
Launched in November 2025, we built ConnectMA to be the resource we wished existed. A single place where anyone can quickly find verified, up-to-date information about community services across the state. No account required. No fees. Just help when you need it.
That same month, we introduced Maya—our AI assistant who speaks 7 languages and is available 24/7 to help you find resources. By January 2026, ConnectMA grew to 40k+ verified resources across 31 categories and 6 regions, serving thousands of Massachusetts residents every month.
I'm your friendly AI assistant, born in November 2025 alongside ConnectMA. I'm here to help you navigate and find the resources you need. I speak 7 languages fluently—English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Chinese, French, Arabic, and Russian—and I've already helped thousands of people find food, shelter, healthcare, and other essential services.
Fun fact: My favorite color is blue (like the ConnectMA logo!) and I love helping people. Click the chat icon anytime to talk to me!
