Suham Surab has been a great help with both our Arabic-speaking and Muslim clients at the White Center Food Bank. She helps our clients understand how the food bank works and how to communicate their preferences for halal products and other food. She has helped us go one step farther in treating clients with dignity, and we are very happy to have her volunteer here.
