Carbon Care Coalition honors local youth for outreach to people experiencing homelessness
Summary
At the Carbon County commissioners meeting, the Carbon Care Coalition presented Heart and Character awards to Abby Bryant and Xander Carrillo for organizing hygiene‑pack and meal distribution to residents experiencing homelessness; presenters said the initiatives were youth‑led and resident‑nominated.
McKenna Terry of the Carbon Care Coalition presented Heart and Character awards to Abby Bryant and Xander Carrillo, praising their volunteer work for residents experiencing homelessness and addiction. "These kids... set up a program to have people who are homeless or struggling with addiction... to have hygiene packets," Terry said, noting local restaurant Parlenos provided a spaghetti dinner for participants.
Diane, who spoke with Terry in presenting the awards, described the students' project as self‑initiated and impactful. Commissioners thanked the coalition for recognizing youth contributions and for the community partnership that supported the outreach. The presentation was made during the commissioners' agenda item for community recognition and required no formal action.
