Resource Directory Update

We are in the process of updating the 2016 Resource Directory, which is an all-encompassing list of resources in Shawnee, Jefferson and Jackson County.

This is a highly utilized resource. Every month literally thousands of people use this directory to refer clients and to find services. It is very crucial that your organizations information is up to date.

Please take this time to go to our website www.directory.crcnet.org and review the information on your organization. We will be contacting your organization unless we hear from you, please indicate either no change, or a list of changes to Maria Ruiz or call at

785-233-1365 .

Remember this is a highly utilized directory and we want to make sure that all the information on your organization and all of the services you provide are correct.
