FRESNO COUNTY RESOURCES DIRECTORY, 20th EDITION HAS BEEN MAILED OUT

The 20th edition of the Fresno County Resources Directory has been mailed out to those who have already paid. If you have pre-ordered your copy, you should have received it by now. If you haven't ordered, now is the time.

The 20th 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 1620 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.

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

LAST PRINTED DIRECTORY?

Help us guide the I&R Network into the future by filling out the internet connectivity survey. It will help us decide if it is time to discontinue the print directory and concentrate solely on the online Directory. The I&R Network needs to hear what you think as we develop a strategic plan for the future.
