Access to health information and resources is a vital part of building a healthy community. Sometimes, locating health resources can be a struggle that requires wading through a maze of information. But Mountain Valley 2-1-1 is a service that links the community of Merced County with local health agencies and information. While many people look to 2-1-1 for resources to help with housing and utility costs, you can also use the service to learn more about how to live a healthy lifestyle and discover how organizations are working to make Merced County a healthier place! By dialing 2-1-1 (or 844-287-7400 on a mobile phone), you will reach a specialist who can tell you about a variety of resources that are available in your community, based on your interests or needs. On the Mountain Valley 2-1-1 website, you can browse all of the same information quickly and efficiently. Search for programs, classes, events and information from dozens of Merced County organizations at your convenience.
On the website, resources are sorted into categories to make navigation as simple as possible. These categories range from food and transportation services, to entrepreneurial services, to drought assistance and more.

Also visit the Community Activities page where you can find information on local clubs, centers for kids and teens, as well as zoos and other activities you can enjoy with friends and family.
