10 LIVE IT UP! SUNDAY, MARCH 30, 2014 SANTA CRUZ SENTINEL Giving back to the community is vital by Kathryn McKenzie A lthough Hazel Roberts retired years ago, she can't imagine sitting at home. And that's why you'll usually find her volunteering at the Watsonville Community Hospital coffee shop. "I can't imagine not being here," said the long- time Watsonville resident, 70, who has been work- ing in the coffee shop for the past six years. Now, as chair, she oversees the entire operation for the mostly volunteer-staffed eatery, which serves hos- pital staff, patients' families, and is also open to the public. Roberts said that growing up, she was inspired by her father, who was always doing good things for people. Giving back to her community is vital for her: "It feeds your soul to do something for someone else." The best part, she said, is being able to help pa- tients and their families who often need a comforting word along with their patty melts and French fries. "If you can make one person smile, you've done your job," she said. All Major Insurance Carriers Represented!
