The mission of the Family Access Network is to improve lives by ensuring all children in Deschutes County have access to basic-need services.

Lisa Smith is a broker with Harcourts The Garner Group Real Estate. Lisa and her husband Davis have lived in Bend for 19 years and although job opportunities have taken them to other parts of the Northwest, they always seem to make it back home to Bend.
