Redmond, Ore. – The Family Access Network Foundation (FAN) received a $7,500 donation from The Bill Healy Foundation to help connect families to basic-need services at John Tuck Elementary School in Redmond.
The funds will go directly to serve our most needy population, children whose families struggle to meet essential needs such as food, shelter, health care, clothing, and more.
“We are grateful for the generous support from The Bill Healy Foundation. These grant funds will allow FAN to help more families in Redmond so their children can be ready to learn and thrive in school,” said Brooke Garcia, FAN Board Chair.
