I have mixed emotions regarding Defiance. On one hand, the name of the town is Defiance. That's pretty metal. On the other hand, why does it have to be so far away? Three hours! Too far!
Of course, when a VISTA that we've worked with in the past is organizing a resource fair, it's worth the drive. So we filled the Mobile with as much diesel as possible and made the trip.
Kylee Collins was the VISTA in question. She organized a resource fair that utilized the OBB Mobile Team, Northwestern Ohio Community Action, and a host of other local resources to help people struggling to get by. Because it was late January, tax appointments started trickling in as well.
Kylee made it a true family effort by inviting her mom, Lisa, to help out. Lisa provided hot dogs and baked beans for the event and it was very much appreciated. (I ate three hotdogs.)
The dynamic duo
I also found out that Kylee had been an OBB counselor since her salad days in high school. I didn't know that minors could be counselors. So, come on, Ohioan high schoolers. Stop it with the texting and the Em Tee Vee, go to your local OBBservations blog, and get yourself to a training!
