FRESNO COUNTY RESOURCES DIRECTORIES GOING FAST

The 18th edition of the Fresno County Resources Directory is disappearing quickly from the offices of the I&R Network. There are less than 5 copies left. To avoid missing out on this comprehensive listing of community resources in Fresno County that you can use to quickly find assistance for your clients, 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. Anyone who purchases the few remaining copies of the 18th Edition will also get a copy of the 19th Edition when it becomes available.

The 18th edition contains almost 200 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 1600 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 which 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.
