New Feature: Volunteer of the Month! While we love ALL of our volunteers here at the Community Resource Center, there are times that someone stands out. This feature is dedicated to highlighting volunteers who catch the eye of a program manager for doing something "extra". This month's Volunteer of the Month is Nima Salima , a volunteer in our Food and Nutrition Center (FNC). Our FNC manager, Yanira, said of Nima: "All of my interactions with Nima have been outstanding! He is such a kind and wonderful person to staff, leads, volunteers, and participants. He has gone above and beyond for the Food and Nutrition Center." Congratulations, Nima! We're grateful for your service.
