Families living in South Los Angeles, the majority of which are Latino, now have a new neighborhood place to buy fresh, healthy food. A new full-service supermarket is now up and running in South Los Angeles, bringing fresh food and new jobs to the area.
The new Northgate Gonzalez market took 15 years to develop and is anchored to the Juanita Tate Marketplace outdoor retail center..
California FreshWorks Fund awarded Northgate Gonzalez a $50,000 grant and $5.5 million loan to provide healthier options and more jobs for the community. The market will bring more than 100 new living wage jobs with benefits.
FreshWorks is a key effort of The California Endowment’s Health Happens Here campaign, which seeks to promote healthy neighborhoods through increased access to fresh foods and economic development.
