Shout Out: Chaplain Mike Lamb and Food Service Staff

By Marisol Ortega

Yesterday a meal celebration was served for Eid-al-Fitr. Thanks to Chaplain Mike Lamb and all the Food Service staff, along with the IP workers who prepped and prepared the meal.

The kitchen staff took pride in serving a great meal for the IPs, it turned out fabulous! New food items were tried and well accepted for the feast. The IPs seemed to enjoy the variety of food that was offered and appreciated the opportunity to celebrate and pray together. Food Service Director Sarah Klein and Chaplain Lamb appreciated the staff who assisted to make it all run smoothly both for the celebration meal as well as the entire month of Ramadan.

Our FSD also adds: "Special thank you to Chaplain Mike Lamb who was well organized and updated us several times a day as things were changing during the month of the Ramada Fast. His attention to detail made the Ramadan process one of the best I have experienced in the 15 years of working here. Mike took the time and effort to ensure that the paperwork was correct. We did not have any complaints from the officers who delivered the meals throughout the entire Ramadan month in regard to where the IP was housed! I will give credit where the credit is due. My staff who supervised and monitored the IP's in the food service area during the Ramadan Fast (1 month). We had two IP's who prepared every single Ramadan meal. The hours of work, prep, and making sure all diets were followed (many allergies etc,). They did an outstanding job!"
