FOOD BANK: Community
steps up to donate
and to volunteer
Continued from page 1
School students are hosting
their Peanut Butter and Jelly
Drive during the month of
March for Sisters Kiwanis
Food Bank. The event, which
began on Friday, March 10,
runs through Friday, March
24. This food drive is an
effort to inspire donations of
kid-friendly foods and raise
awareness about childhood
hunger in Sisters. Students
are encouraged to bring in not
just peanut butter and jelly
but other kid-friendly foods in
order to support families that
utilize the local Food Bank.
The Sisters Kiwanis Food
Bank recently celebrated their
volunteers for 2016.
“It was an amazing year,”
says Kiwanian Barbara Bott.
“People kept showing up (to
help.) We were excited to pull
in the Fire Department as vol-
unteers this past year.”
The volunteer opera-
tions of the Food Bank
span about two weekdays
where designated volun-
teers are in Redmond, Bend,
and Sisters picking up food
from NeighborImpact, Food
4 Less, Melvin’s Fir Street
Market and Ray’s Food Place.
Other volunteers are at the
Food Bank where loads are
weighed, sorted, and shelved;
then all is safely put away and
ready for weekly distribution
on Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2
p.m.
All volunteers who con-
tributed 20 hours or more
received a mug designed
by local artist Kathy
Deggendorfer. This year’s
volunteers receiving the
honor were: Carol Ast, Betsy
Enjoy the
fl avors
of spring
Beaver, Phil Ashley and the
Sisters-Camp Sherman fire
crew.
Several people received
mugs last year, but also
achieved the 20-hour mark
for 2016 and received a
special Kiwanis Pen. They
include: Marsha Allen, Dale
Payne, Katie Powers, Done
Rowe, Liz Weeks and Vince
Wilson.
The top Food Bank
donors in 2016 included all
three Sisters public schools,
Melvin’s Fir Street Market,
Mail Carrier’s Food Drive, St.
Edward the Martyr Catholic
Church, Angeline’s Bakery,
the Episcopal Church of the
Transfiguration, and Sisters
Community Church.
The Sisters Kiwanis Food
Bank accepts donations
throughout the year, and they
can be dropped off at the Food
Bank on Main Avenue and
Oak Street on Wednesdays.

BEND (AP) — A Bend
daycare provider who has
been accused of leaving seven
children at her home daycare
while she went tanning was
previously investigated by
state officials.
The Bulletin reports
that 31-year-old January
Neatherlin was charged last
Thursday with child neglect,
reckless endangerment, and
criminal mistreatment.
State records show that
Neatherlin’s business, Little
Giggles Daycare, was inves-
tigated twice since 2014 by
state child welfare advocates.
Despite the investigations, her
business was still listed as an
option for students at Oregon
State University-Cascades.
Neatherlin was first inves-
tigated by the Oregon Office
of Child Care in 2014 after a
citizen tip. She was found to
be caring for more than three
children, more than allowed
without a license, and told to
drop her client load.
