Pete and Marcia Zanitich
Area Served: Giles County
Pete and Marcia Zanitich are passionate about helping children who have been neglected or abused. In 2007, serving as Child Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Giles County, the couple served 262 hours to help children have a voice in the court system. They have advocated for safe, permanent homes for five abused and neglected children and one infant. As everyday people who serve as the eyes and ears for the judge on behalf of children in need, Pete and Marcia communicate to the judge regarding the best interests of the children. The couple frequently visits the children's homes, families, and schools -- spending time with the child to understand their unique situation. Pete and Marcia work closely with schools and teachers and also make special presentations to groups and other volunteers to encourage others to help the children who are desperate for assistance. In addition to their work with neglected and abused children, the couple is involved in the SHARE (Self-Help and Resource Exchange) Food Program in which they travel 60 miles to pick up food from warehouse and deliver it to Giles County and help to unload the food boxes for distribution to the community. For the children and families of Giles, Pete and Marcia Zanitich deliver hope to those in need. Find your passion and volunteer today.
