Message from Manny and Margarita Mota
Helping the disadvantaged improve their lives is an extremely rewarding experience. For the past three decades we have been blessed with the opportunity to help others in many different ways. Starting out with few resources, including a 50-pound cooking pot for boiling rice, our family began providing meals to the needy children living in our neighborhood. God has given us the vision to share with others what He has given us in this life, and we quickly learned that the greatest gift we could give those in need was the love we have for them.
