Maria Lopez

Maria is a Miami Police Explorer with a passion for helping others. For the past two months, Maria has been providing several homeless communities with food every week. She knows the importance of helping people in need and spreading kindness and empathy. She and her mother fully fund her endeavor and take time each week to pass out food they prepare for the needy. Maria cooks and puts together each meal and packages everything needed. Her goal is to inspire others to take action and help those that are less fortunate. Instead of being out with her friends like most kids her age, Maria is hard at work giving back to her community. For her commitment to caring for those less fortunate, Maria exemplifies what it means to do the right thing.
