What: Ben鈥檚 Bells promotes kindness and community involvement. Each week a person who makes 蜜柚直播 better is 鈥渂elled.鈥
Last week鈥檚 recipient: Jennifer Roxas
Nominated by: V.K. Viswanathan
Why: For helping to produce hand sanitizer for communities across 蜜柚直播. When our research laboratories closed down in March 2020 due to COVID-19-related restrictions, my laboratory pivoted to producing much-needed, high-grade, hand sanitizer for front-line workers and 蜜柚直播 communities. Jennifer Roxas volunteered to lead the team and, in all, helped donate over 5,000 liters of sanitizer to hospitals, shelters, and Native American communities across 蜜柚直播. 鈥淚 have no doubt that this effort saved many lives across the state,鈥 Viswanathan wrote in the nomination letter. For much of the year, she also volunteered with 鈥淧roduce on Wheels鈥 to distribute rescued produce to 蜜柚直播 residents. She even purchased and donated produce to her neighbors, and to colleagues who could not readily go to the stores. She cooked large batches of food for neighbors and friends, particularly those living alone. 鈥淛enny has always been kind and generous, but her sense of goodwill to the community just kicked into high-gear over the past year,鈥 Viswanathan wrote.
