Huntington Beach Fire Captain Drew DiPaola doesn’t look for praise—he just gets the job done. See why he was named Firefighter of the Year and how his work captures the spirit of National First Responders Day.

Molly Bracken’s dedication to mentoring at-risk youth, her heart for service, and her unwavering faith in the power of opportunity are what make her a true Nuvision Hero. Her leadership at Bracken’s Kitchen is creating ripples of positive change that extend far beyond the kitchen—helping to fight hunger, provide jobs, and strengthen our communities.

For many families in our communities, the question isn’t “what’s for dinner?” but “will there be dinner at all?” Hunger doesn’t just take food off the table. It creates stress, keeps kids from focusing in school, and makes it harder for families to get back on their feet. That’s why we launched the NuvisionCares Help Fight Hunger initiative. Across California, Alaska, and Wyoming, we’ve partnered with food banks and nonprofits who are on the ground helping people every single day.

At Nuvision, we believe heroes aren’t just the ones we read about in history books—they’re also the everyday people who step up to make their communities stronger. This month, we’re proud to recognize Carol S, a Pleasanton, CA Branch member whose generosity and decades of volunteer service show exactly what it means to care for others.
