About the Rainbow Resource Directory

The first Rainbow Resource Directory was published for Orange County in 1979 by Glenda Riddick, and was 56 pages long. Its goal was to help people and organizations more efficiently identify and access the wealth of low to no-cost resources available in the area. There were only 12 chapters in the first edition and about 300 agency listings. Five years later, there were 48 chapters and more than 3,000 agency listings in the Orange County directory. Most of the additional chapters were in response to changes in society and feedback from users and college students.

In 1988, the first edition of the Los Angeles Directory was published. Even with careful editing of the services covered, the Los Angeles County Directory has grown to include more than 12,000 listings. In 1991, the first editions were published for Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

Today we are proud to be the leading social services referral guide in California, publishing directories serving Los Angeles/Ventura Counties, Orange County and Riverside/San Bernardino Counties. Additionally, we offer a state-wide CD-ROM containing more than 25,000 listings of low- and no-cost services throughout California.
