Ortencia Treviño, Salt + Light’s Community Works Coordinator, brings her passion for service and community to her role, working tirelessly to ensure our neighbors receive the care they deserve. Raised in the Central Valley and currently residing in Visalia, CA, Ortencia has deep roots in the area, and her dedication to helping others is evident in all that she does. With over nine years of experience in real estate and two years of volunteering with Salt + Light’s kitchen and food truck services, Ortencia transitioned from volunteering to becoming an integral part of the team.

In her personal life, Ortencia is married with one daughter, and they share their home with their beloved dog Lucy, whom they fostered two years ago and decided to keep. She enjoys walking around Linwood with Lucy leading the way and spends her free time exploring the outdoors. If she’s not with family, you’ll likely find her hiking in the beautiful landscapes of Sequoia.

As the Community Works Coordinator, Ortencia assists the Community Works Manager with operating the food truck and coordinating meal services for our neighbors. She plays a vital role in ensuring that each meal service runs smoothly, helping to feed those in need while fostering a sense of community. Her dedication to this work is driven by her belief in Salt + Light’s mission, which she says is as simple as “witnessing the work being done, the love being spread, the healing being found, and seeds of hope being planted.”

Ortencia joined the Salt + Light team because she believes in the power of community and the importance of standing alongside those in need. She shares, “To see the impact of what we do, day in and day out, is truly humbling. I’ve seen hope restored, lives touched, and healing take place through something as simple as a meal. That’s why I’m here.”
