About Vin Latteri

I’m a husband of over 20 years, father of two, and someone who has come to a simple but life-changing realization: people matter—because Jesus says they matter. Out of that conviction, I founded Pak Hope, a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring dignity and meeting real needs for those living life on the streets. I also launched Hito Pak, a one-for-one backpack and soft goods company designed to provide high-quality gear for individuals experiencing homelessness, affirming that identity is not defined by circumstance.
A native Californian, I’m fascinated with Japanese culture, love paddle boarding and going on new adventures, and often find myself writing music or soaking up the sunshine with my amazing wife, Jenny. Whether in ministry, business, or everyday life, my heart beats for Kingdom initiatives—helping people encounter hope, see their value, and experience the love of God in tangible ways.
