Rotary Club of Crook County supports Family Access Network laundry program
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Rotary Club of Crook County granted $500 to Family Access Network to support laundry services at Express Eco Laundry in Prineville. Funds will be partially matched by Express Eco Laundry, as FAN advocates serving Crook County continue this vital program that provides pre-loaded laundry cards to families in need.
FAN’s laundry program supports a basic need for children, so that they can arrive at school in clean clothes, ready to focus on learning.
“The Rotary Club of Crook County’s commitment to community service goes hand in hand with FAN’s commitment to building a healthy community by alleviating the suffering of children in need, and we are thankful for their support. We’re also grateful for the support of Prineville businesses, like Express Eco Laundry, who invest in brighter futures for students in Crook County,” said Julie N. Lyche, FAN's executive director
