HOW TO USE THIS DIRECTORY
The Charles County Directory of Human Services is divided into three sections:
1. Services Chart and Index 2. Agency Listings 3. Appendices
The Services Chart and Index: lists participating agencies alphabetically and identifies the categories of service each agency provides. Read the appropriate agency listings to learn more about specific services and eligibility requirements.
The Agency Listings: include a description of each agency -- location(s), services provided, populations served, hours of operation and other pertinent information. This information was provided to us by the participating agencies, and was accurate at time of publication. For more information, call the service provider directly.
Some agencies require that potential clients be referred to them by another agency; their listings will indicate which agency(ies) must refer you for their services.
Agencies with this symbol are United Way of Charles County partner agencies.
Agencies marked with this symbol are approved Student Service
Student Service Learning Learning sites. Students needing to complete the Student Service Learning graduation requirement may contact these agencies directly to arrange to perform volunteer service.
