It is my distinct honor and great pleasure to salute Maravilla Foundation for their over thirty-five years of tireless work on behalf of low-income people throughout California. Their programs have provided much needed services to low-income communities, improved the quality of life for countless households, and offered employment opportunities for thousands of our residents. Their hard work has made a significant contribution toward the strengthening of our neighborhoods, particularly their innovative and remarkably successful programs working with young people. For their dedication to serving others, we all owe them our gratitude.
