RootDown babies raised on food their parents grow, cook, & sell!

Some of our young staff who started in our programs 8 years ago now have their own small children. Last week, Karen Ramirez took her daughter, Renesmee, along with one of our growers, Jonathan Galindez, to drop off produce to Cruzita's Deli and Cafe. Cruzita's has committed to supporting RootDown by regularly purchasing our produce - locally grown fruits and veggies now make their way into Cruzita's delicious menu items and back into the bellies of the next generation of young people in South Los Angeles.
