When Maria and Carlos Martinez attended their first 33 FOR CHARITY food drive in 2022, they brought their two children along "just to help for an hour." Three years later, the entire family has logged over 200 volunteer hours — and inspired half their neighborhood to join.
Service as a Family Value
"We wanted our kids to understand that giving back isn't optional — it's who we are," Maria explains. "Now our 10-year-old asks every month when the next event is."
Ripple Effect
The Martinez family's enthusiasm is contagious. They've recruited 8 neighbors to volunteer regularly and organized a mini food drive at their children's school that collected 500 pounds of donations.
