Philanthropy can take many forms: time, treasure and talent.
GV Wire kicks off its 12 Days of Philanthropy series with a look at Fresno Skateboard Salvage.
Efforts such as this can make a big difference in our community — and in the life of a youngster.
Rodney Rodriguez is the founder of Fresno Skateboard Salvage.
As a young man, he found refuge in skateboarding from an unstable and often abusive family environment.
Now he is paying it forward to others.
“There are a thousand different ways kids can connect with the world; drugs, gangs, I mean, you name it, and I just want to help keep kids doing something positive, ” Rodriguez says.
