USING THE DIRECTORY

The 2015 - 2016 Green Book Directory of Community Resources includes information on major nonprofit and governmental agencies that provide services to Johnson County residents and surrounding areas. Please note that some service providers are not located in Johnson County. The alphabetical and subject index sections will assist you in locating the agency you need. If you are unable to find an agency that meets your needs, please call 211.

In 2002 the Green Book Task Force was formed by the Walls Regional Hospital Community Health Council. Many agencies have created resource manuals in the past and have graciously helped in the creation of the Green Book. The Task Force objective is to provide a comprehensive resource guide for Johnson County and surrounding areas. It is important that any agency that may have been omitted be included in the next edition. Please email Pam Masters at [email protected] and request form to add your agency to the next publication of the Green Book.
