Colleen Croy, Ananda
by Ananda Team and Josie Ruiz

Colleen has been an assistant at Ananda since November 2023. They came to community and immediately put themselves to work. They are always the first one to jump into a task with their whole self. Colleen always has amazing questions, which we all know allows us to get to know the people we love and care for and give them exactly what they need.
They are known at Ananda for making amazing dinners and their ability to season and get us all to actually EAT OUR VEGGIES! and even LIKE green food. You can find them working hard as the money manager or telling terrible jokes. They bring such a fun energy to L’Arche and we here at Ananda are so proud to have them on our team.

Kelsey, Ananda Volunteer
by Colleen Croy, Ananda Assistant

Kelsey is a Tacoma native who works at Evergreen Lutheran High School in administration during the school year. She spent the summer volunteering at Ananda House, helping with activities and dinner. Some of the things she found rewarding during her time at L’Arche were the close-knit community, meeting new people, and having new experiences slightly outside of her comfort zone.
