NEW FRESNO COUNTY RESOURCES DIRECTORIES AVAILABLE

The I&R staff has a waning number of copies of the 19th Edition of the Fresno County Resources Directory which are going fast. Fewer copies were printed than last year, so to avoid missing out on this comprehensive listing of community resources in Fresno County, take a moment right now to fill out your subscription form and drop it in the mail or fax it to the I&R Network office.

The 19th edition contains almost 100 programs never before published. Unfortunately, a number of programs also closed this past year and are no longer listed in the Directory. There are now more than 1650 programs listed in the Directory. Each program contains valuable information such as contact people, phone numbers, addresses, fees, languages spoken, brief descriptions, and a wide range of other information to assist you in finding the most appropriate services for your clients.

Because of the large amount of change that occurs in the human services delivery system from year to year, you will need to purchase a new Directory in order to have the latest and most accurate information at your fingertips.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the above, call Joe or Lori at (559) 488-3857.
