Today, we honor Marty, a dedicated volunteer who has been part of the Village family for over 11 years. For Marty, volunteering isn’t just about giving back - it’s about witnessing something truly extraordinary.

He says he sees "more courage in a single day here than most people do in a lifetime." It’s in the strength of the children, the resilience of their families, and the quiet moments of joy that make the Village so magical.

"To understand the Village, you have to volunteer here. You can describe it to someone all day but you really have to come and do it to experience the magic." 💫 #NationalVolunteerWeek #VolunteerSpotlight #GKTW #GiveKidsTheWorld
