As a volunteer and President of the Community Food Pantry of Benson’s Board, I am able to meet and interact with many people. Through those brief interactions a lot is learned about the people and their needs. Food and health go hand in hand. I am honored to be on the board of CCHCI and to let people know of the excellent services available at Chiricahua. Services that are available for all people. If you want to truly help the community, you have to help in all areas that are lacking. The mission statements of CCHCI and the Pantry are synonymous.
A disabled United States Air Force Veteran, Najayyah spent ten years serving her country and another 10 years working as a civil servant for the U.S. Navy. Earning a Bachelor of Arts in Education and a BBA in Training and Leadership. Her first love has always been serving the public. Community oriented, in September 2020, she spearheaded the five day display of not only the Vietnam Wall but walls and tributes from all wars; from 1914 – the Fort Hood Shootings and 9/11.
“It was necessary to unite and bring healing to our community. There are so many who are hurting.”
In any activity that she organizes the emphasis is always on family. As President of the Community Food Pantry of Benson, she has grown the Pantry to be more than just about food. Free cooking classes are offered once a month, along with resource speakers to educate the public on the many avenues of assistance available to them. Not just where to get food but how to can food; make soap; where to acquire help, whether it’s medical, financial or even spiritual. The Pantry is becoming a major resource in the community. We are committed to a single goal; making the world a better and healthier place one family at a time.
