true ridge team
Lori Garcia-McCammon, co-founder, is the positive force behind the organization, working hard to create better lives for those who share her heritage and culture. She was driving social progress, creating tangible change and making strides in advocating for people who face barriers every day. After years of witnessing injustices from inside the court system, Lori wanted to do right for the Latino community. Her passion was to advocate for the Hispanic population in Western North Carolina and ensure that they have an effective, collective network of services within reach.
