Welcome New Board Member Roxanna

Why I am committed to The Matt Garcia Foundation

“I am Roxanna Torres-Guerrero, kind of a mouthful. An Austin, Texas Native that has been in the bay since 2022. 

Now I don’t see myself living anywhere else. The Matt Garcia Foundation is special to me, because when I was feeling sad and lost after losing my older brother. It gave me bits and pieces of hope and love. I have met so many incredible people through this organization, that I will forever be grateful for. From a tragedy, the need to service my community was born. The MGF was that on its own, well before my own experience. They are intentional about their efforts to focus on the youth to prevent losing our community to violence and unsafety.”
