In an effort to provide the community with accurate and comprehensive information
regarding available community resources, we are pleased to present this annual
Community Resource Directory. This document is produced as a collaborative effort
between United Way of Portage County, Aging & Disability Resource Center of Portage
County and Portage County Health and Human Services, along with the Stevens Point
Buyers’ Guide. The purpose of this directory is to provide a complete guide to service
providers and resources in our community.
Please save this directory to use it throughout the year to help you, a family member or
a friend locate a program, product or service. It is our intention to further expand and
enhance the directory with each year’s publication. We welcome your comments and
suggestions to improve future directories.

County, and Portage County Health and Human Services do not assume
responsibility for the services, nor do we endorse advertising content in this
directory. Further, this publication does not represent all businesses and
organizations serving the community of Portage County. We have made every effort to
make this directory useful to community members, and regret if an agency was
omitted. An organization’s inclusion or exclusion is not a reflection of its merit. Agencies
and businesses with information to be considered for future publications should contact
our office.
We would like to thank the Stevens Point Buyers’ Guide and the advertisers
in this directory for helping to make this publication possible.
