Crystal
Crystal is a dedicated volunteer who works tirelessly behind the scenes every week. Each week she helps with a multitude of projects. This week Crystal used a ton of elbow grease and a full bottle of all purpose cleaner to sparkle up our kitchenette. A full gallon of vinegar and a bag full of garbage later and the space is like new. She also unpacked several boxes and put stuff away! The oven will be in good shape very soon and the space will be usable for cooking, Healthy Food Program, and even operating a dishwasher!
