The counties covered are: Bedford, Cannon, Cheatham, Coffee, Davidson, DeKalb, Dickson, Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Macon, Marshal, Maury, Montgomery, Roberson, Rutherford, Smith, Stewart, Sumner, Trousdale, Williamson and Wilson.

This is the first update to the directory since 2003. To order a copy, dial 2-1-1.

Users may also dial 2-1-1, which is sponsored by AmSouth Bank, and speak directly to an information and referral specialist for a wide range of health and human services needs such as job training, after-school tutoring programs, drug rehab, senior assistance, food clothing and shelter, and much more. The free telephone help line is available year-round 24 hours a day – 7 days a week, confidential and offers help in 153 languages.
