This is why we have created Resource Directory: Inside, you’ll find more than 400 “places to start.” Healthcare. Legal and financial help. Disability services. Housing options. Home improvement. Medical equipment. Nonprofit organizations. Hotlines. This is just a small sampling of the more than 50 informational categories inside this Resource Directory. Look through its easy-to-read pages for local resources available for baby boomers, seniors, and their families in Lancaster County. Plus, the Resource Directory contains contact information for Lancaster County police departments, post offices, and emergency services, as well as county, state, and federal government phone numbers for your convenience. Resource Directory is available in print and online The at www.ResourceDirectoryPA.com, so it’s accessible whenever and wherever you need it. The Lancaster County Resource Directory would not be possible without the financial support and dedication of its sponsors and advertisers. We thank the businesses and organizations included in this directory for facilitating access to the resources Lancaster County residents need — and for helping On-Line Publishers, Inc. commemorate 25 years of serving the mind, heart, and spirit of the community in 2020. The professional services, advocacy organizations, living communities, and other helpful services you need are out there, and no matter what you are in search of, we hope this free directory gives you a place to start and the means to keep going.
