I would like to take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Rex Gonzalez. I am an active duty Marine and the founder of GF Communities. GF Communities is an organization that was started in 2005 as a way for our Family to give back to the community.My son was born 4 months premature and if it had not been for the caring and sacrifice he received from our Community he would not be here now. He received the gift of life through the Blood donations received from those who knew nothing about him, but wanted to volunteer to help anyhow. From this simple idea, something special grew. More Marines, more people, and more organizations joined our cause and allowing us to become what we are now. We have Communities in Hawaii, North Carolina and Virginia. Our local directors are also active duty Marines who give their free time to support the communities they live in.
As Director in charge of operations, it is my responsibility to continue to grow the mission and support our various Communities. From administration to web design, I do my best to help those who give so freely of their own time to support GF Communities.
Mission
The people who volunteer with GF Communities do so much for those in need during these very difficult times. From food drives, to fund drives, to holiday cheer, our volunteers have been there for the local community. That is why GF Communities is proud to have them associated with us. Because of this, we strive to do anything we can do to better support our volunteers and make it easier for them to do their good work.

We hope by making these opportunities more readily available that people and Organizations can come together.
