CPI intern Crystal Larsen鈥檚 supervisors have praised her initiative in helping Benny鈥檚 Pantry become more accessible, easy-to-navigate, and helpful for students, but she is humble about her work. 

鈥淔or me, it鈥檚 nothing outstanding, but working there has been a really rewarding experience,鈥� she said. 鈥淏eing able to help is such a great feeling.鈥� 

Larsen has been working  as a Career Path Intern for Benny鈥檚 Pantry, a food pantry for students facing food insecurity. In her role, she has reorganized the pantry, and found creative ways to overcome obstacles. For example, students may have only a microwave for cooking. Larsen. created a microwave recipes list and food kits for students that weren鈥檛 previously available. 

However, the biggest challenge she has faced is keeping the pantry stocked. Larsen is hoping to start a food drive to help relieve the strain on the pantry.

鈥淲e have a surplus of pasta, but other items like eggs, milk, and other basic grocery items go out quickly. We want to offer more than canned goods and pasta,鈥� she said.

One thing Larsen has come to appreciate has been the food programs that are available and the school鈥檚 involvement in students鈥� food security. 

鈥滷ood is not something that you would think of as a freshman student. It鈥檚 usually, 鈥業鈥檒l be fine,鈥� but sometimes you do need help,鈥� she said. 

Larsen's hard work hasn't gone unnoticed by her supervisors. 

"She has just been amazing! She is one of the best CPI students I have ever had!鈥� said supervisor Stephanie Foreman.
