The Yarmouth Police Department is providing this list as a link to available public health services,
public health crisis agencies and social service agencies in our community who are doing their
best to continue to provide critical services to those who need them. Many of these
organizations are offering online and phone support as in-person services have been
suspended due to the current health crisis.
This is not a complete list and we will work to add and update this list as services change or
become available.
