About Community Connection Community Connection is a statewide database of community resources and consumer information on the World Wide Web. A free public service, it provides a central source for information about a wide variety of resources available to Missourians. Community Connection includes both public and private, non-profit and for profit resources, including agencies, organizations, government units, clubs, associations, schools, churches, businesses, libraries and others. It can be searched by topic, key words, service area or proximity to a zip code. Resource listings and maps, directories, address labels and asset maps can also be printed.
Resources can manage their information themselves from anywhere there is Internet access.
User Guides, online help, local contacts, and a toll-free help desk number are provided to assist users. For those who can't manage it themselves, there are often organizations willing to assist. Being on the World Wide Web makes the information widely accessible 24 hours a day. Many service providers use Community Connection to help people find appropriate resources. Community Connection also works with Missouri Express, community information networks, libraries, Extension offices, and other sites to promote public access to the Internet. .
