Our all-Latina Westwood leadership team brings residents together to cultivate hope, opportunity, and education by reclaiming our food systems and local economy.
Community Health
As a community-driven food hub, we partner with Westwood residents to promote holistic health through food. Our team of Promotoras community health workers operates our no-cost grocery store, tends to La Granja urban farm, manages family/champion community gardens and also plays a crucial role in providing essential health and resource navigation for families.
-
Every week, families are able to select free fresh produce, meat, milk, eggs and culturally relevant staples like rice and beans, using their preferred language in a consistent and welcoming space.
-
Our team cultivates fresh vegetables to distribute at our no-cost grocery or as CSA boxes for Denver Health patients experiencing food insecurity.
-
Promotoras teach families and communities to grow and harvest fresh produce at family and Champion gardens to build community food self-sufficiency and provide health navigation.
All our programs are shaped and run by Westwood’s Latino community. Our approach is designed to harness cultural strengths, cultivate wealth, and nurture economic resilience for local families. We take pride in hiring and training neighborhood Latina leaders as promotoras, elevating them as professionals. We also actively support thriving Latino businesses by providing subsidized rent to 7 small businesses and 3 nonprofits. Together, we’re fostering a prosperous community.
Community Wealth
-
As carriers of culture across generations, neighborhood Latina leaders are hired to teach ancestral growing practices in community, support families in achieving food sovereignty, and lead program work across the organization – receiving ongoing professional development to move up as managers and directors of the organization.
-
The Re:Vision Campus offers subsidized rent to Latino business leaders, including 7 Latino-run small businesses and 3 nonprofits. By removing the barrier of high-cost rent in a city like Denver, businesses and organizations can focus on thriving.
-
La Cocina is a vital component of Re:Vision’s efforts in Southwest Denver to provide affordable and accessible kitchen space to Latino food entrepreneurs looking to launch or expand their small businesses.
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to food security, harvesting and nutrition. Our multigenerational education programs are built for our Westwood and Southwest Denver Latino community to address their nutritional needs, mental health, and economic well-being. We believe a community can empower themselves through knowledge and practical skills that resonate with their cultural identity.
