1 Human Resource Directory for McHenry County Sponsored by United Way of McHenry County, Inc. Developed by Family Service and Community Mental health Center for McHenry County

2 FORWARD United Way of McHenry County supports human service programs designed to address the needs of McHenry County residents. For several years, this support has included creation of an updated version of the Human Resource Directory. This Directory is designed to enhance existing sources of information, however it cannot possibly include every human service provider in McHenry County. Inclusion or exclusion of a resource in this Directory implies neither endorsement nor lack of endorsement. This edition has been completely updated and reorganized, and the information presented is as accurate as possible. Agency and Organization information frequently change and therefore total accuracy cannot be guaranteed. If you need additional copies of the Directory, please contact Family Service & Community Mental Health Center for McHenry County at Again, thank you to United Way of McHenry County without whose support this publication would not be possible.
