In Support of Street Vendors—A Letter From Logan Heights & City Heights CDCs

After decades working to de stigmatize and decriminalize street food vending, our team is appalled by these attacks and we stand alongside those neighbors working to earn a living on sidewalks, from food carts or trucks, and from their home-based catering work. See more in the statement below from our Interim Executive Director, Alexis Villanueva:

Introducing the San Diego Food Justice Project!

The SD Food Justice Project is the latest chapter in to our long-term food security efforts in City Heights and beyond, and our Economic Development team is working hard to find the first 100 small business applicants with priority focus on marginalized business owners and supporting the entrepreneurship of individuals with limited English proficiency, regardless of immigration or citizenship status.

Happy Cambodian New Year, City Heights!

Over the week, many of our neighbors celebrated Cambodian New Year!

The festivities at Tierra Central were amazing, with food from around the world, live music, dancing, art exhibitions, and even a parade.

Street Vendors Need Our Help!
