Family Access Network expands to Prineville schools
The Family Access Network announced Tuesday that it has expanded to offer services at Barnes Butte and Crooked River elementary schools in Prineville.
This is the first time FAN advocates have been available outside of Deschutes County.
FAN advocates will be available time in each school to connect families to basic-need resources such as food, shelter, clothing, utilities and more. Families in need of assistance with children at either elementary school may contact the school directly to connect with the FAN advocate.
