They didn&#8217;t have money to buy food. And the front desk receptionist, she came back to me and she said, Marina, would you mind? I know your time is over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you take care of this family? And I said absolutely.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I kind of made a command decision and allowed them to get a little extra because they were financially strapped. They didn&#8217;t have food. They were new to the base. I wanted them to be welcomed in a positive way and they were just so appreciative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then on top of that we also had an inspection at the pantry by Second Harvest and the food pantry director came to me and said, \u201cMarina, we received an outstanding report and it&#8217;s all because of your commitment and your dedication.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those memories are special to me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is there someone who has inspired you to do this kind of work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My mom taught us as we were growing up to always give back to our community, and she demonstrated that by going to visit the sick, going to nursing homes, visiting the elderly. She would even visit people that she didn&#8217;t know, just to say a kind word to them. And so she inspired me to give back. She was like, if you&#8217;re blessed to have the financial means to, you should help others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is one thing you wish more people knew about what you\u2019re doing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>The people that I serve are so thankful for the little simple things, things that to me may be considered small, but they&#8217;re always so appreciative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the soldiers who come to the food pantry, they really do need to come there. They don&#8217;t take advantage of the system. They inspire me to keep doing it because they&#8217;re so grateful for the little things that we do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work that I do at the USO may seem mundane to people as far as putting out snacks, stocking drinks and making breakfast trays or inventorying supplies, but it&#8217;s so important to ensure that the center runs smoothly. So I try to keep it organized, because it\u2019s my job and commitment to excellence. Doing my very, very best is important to me.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"569\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Marina_Blog_2-569x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8626 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Marina_Blog_2-569x1024.png 569w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Marina_Blog_2-167x300.png 167w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Marina_Blog_2-768x1382.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Marina_Blog_2-853x1536.png 853w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Marina_Blog_2.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you have a message of encouragement you would like to share?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the faith. You may be going through a difficult time and it may be a little bleak right now, but if you keep the faith and the community works together to support each other, things will get better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a gospel song that I like, it says \u201cTrouble don&#8217;t last always. Weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning.\u201d So stay strong, be supportive of each other and let people know what you need. Keep the faith. Someone will help you and it will get better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If you were a piece of furniture what would you be and why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A recliner. It&#8217;s a place where you can decompress from the day, relaxing, listening to music and even a place where you take a nap if you need to without having to go to bed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then it&#8217;s also a place where if you ever have a loved one in the hospital. A lot of times hospitals will have a recliner that a family member can sleep in, and that recliner is sure better than sleeping in an upright chair.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you have any core furniture memories?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the dining room table, there was a chair with arms and it was my dad\u2019s chair. &nbsp;No one else sat in that chair during meal times. That was his chair. We knew it was his chair, even if he wasn&#8217;t there we still didn&#8217;t sit in that chair.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that&#8217;s a fond memory that I have of growing up, knowing that my dad had a chair and we didn&#8217;t dare sit there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 30 years of service in the U.S. Air Force, Marina Elliott continues to dedicate her life to helping others through volunteer work with the USO, local food pantries, and community organizations.
