This new non-profit with 100+ members is giving to those in need during the pandemic.

Through Garcia's leadership (he's a fitness coach who once weighed over 400 pounds), the group is empowering youth and families to uplift their communities in the north valley, focusing on volunteerism.

Recognizing that many volunteers in the area are aging, Garcia is leading a new generation of givers in Merced County.
