Our parents taught us this lesson early on in life and it is one that we have valued the most over the years,” said Serrano. “We have long-term charitable partnerships with a handful of causes that are dear to us.” The Serranos have been serving meals at St. Vincent de Paul’s Mesa dining room every month for the past 17 years. They also host a holiday toy and supply drive for the St. Peter Indian Mission School on the Gila River Indian Community. In 2019, the family lost Stephanie Serrano to breast cancer and made a contribution to the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center at HonorHealth in her honor. The Serrano family has long supported first responders. In response to COVID, Serrano’s launched a Burritos for Badges program and created a special breakfast burrito called the First Responder that they have delivered to hundreds of healthcare workers, police officers and firefighters over the course of the pandemic. People can contribute on the Serrano’s website to help support this program.
