Mount Miguel staff member Amanda Rizo has been shopping for residents since Covid began. Her accomplishments are being celebrated with a poem: “Coffee and veggies and yogurt and tofu. Pretzels and chips and ice cream and cold brew. Wheat bread and white bread and Pumpernickel too. Butter, bananas, and savory canned stew. Covid caused residents to shelter in place. But groceries are needed and ordered with grace. Amanda masks up and drives off in her van, going store to store, buying all that she can. She brings back the groceries and organizes them too, then “elves” like Bob Turner deliver them on cue. Over $60,000 has been spent thus far, All this shopping has made Amanda a super star!” -Margo Bule, Resident Services DirectorMount Miguel staff member Amanda Rizo has been shopping for residents since Covid began.
