Multilingual Resource Line
You can always call the Medford Multilingual Resource Line. Anyone can call 781-475-5644 and select a preferred language from the menu to leave a voicemail in their native language.
The Medford Multilingual Resource Line has been established to help answer questions, provide support, and make connections to services. Trained professionals in social work, mental health, and public health will return calls or correspond via email to ensure that residents are receiving answers to questions and connected to support services in their native language, through the use of interpreter services. Our staff can assist with connections to services or resources including but not limited to: SNAP and other food access resources, mental health services and support, housing resources and questions, educational supports, and more.
