Fig Tree seeks partners for Resource Directory

The Fig Tree is initiating the Resource Directory Community Partners Program to help build distribution for the 2017-18 Resource Directory and to have the cost of the copies for targeted agencies or demographics covered by underwriting partners.

Community partners will enrich the quality of life in the region by helping service providers connect with each other and helping people in need gain access to resources that can change their lives, said directory editor Malcolm Haworth.

“This year we have run out of copies of the directory because of increased demand for their use,” he said.  “Agencies appreciate that we provide this service so their staff does not need to do the research for making referrals, but can spend more time on clients’ needs.”

The plan is to have both distribution partners, who will share copies with more of their staff and volunteers, as well as clients.  The Resource Directory is comprehensive, so even though people may come with one need, they may have multiple needs or family members with other needs.
