The Family Access Network (FAN) recently received a $25,000 grant from Safeway Albertsons Foundation's Nourishing Neighbors Program that aims to help individuals in need connect to resources that will reduce hunger.

Lyche, FAN Executive Director. Unique to Central Oregon, FAN began in 1993 and currently employs 30 advocates
