This neighborhood in particular would really benefit from a grocery store. Only the owners of the 99 cent store and the landlords will benefit otherwise, and the neighborhood will continue to suffer.

Children are the key to the future and as our Brothers and Sisters did in The Black Panther Party, we must feed the children food with nutritional value in order for their minds to grow. There is a difference to the education, food, and clean air that people can access due to their economic place in society. Classism is Racism. The long term affects of fresh food in this neighborhood will be the future.
