Vanessa Nolen, Family Access Network advocate, stepped up to put together weekend bags of food for students and families in Crook County who need it. Three years later, her efforts are still going strong.
These food bags bridge the gap for students between school days, ensuring that they are fed over the weekend. Nolen’s work serves families who might live outside of Prineville and might not have access to running water. Some students say food is scarce on the weekends. Central Oregon also has a high rate of youth homelessness, and emancipated high schoolers who don’t have ready access to food need help.
