Welcome to La Fresca

Our Mission

La Fresca is a community-led initiative rooted in the neighborhoods of Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea, with a mission to support local corner stores and food-based businesses. Our goal is to strengthen the neighborhood economy, foster growth for local enterprises, and build a connected network of food-focused entrepreneurs. We are guided by the values of community accountability, economic self-determination, and creating pathways for local businesses to thrive.

Support Local Entrepreneurs

Your support helps local corner stores and vendors grow, creating economic stability within the community. This stability leads to internal growth and encourages reinvestment back into the neighborhood.

Importance of Local Economy

Learn why supporting local businesses matters. Unlike large corporations, local entrepreneurs are real people you see in your community—people you know, trust, and grow with. Choosing local means investing in relationships, not just transactions.

Building a Local Network

We are uniting to build a strong network of neighborhood food businesses. When we come together for a shared purpose, we become unstoppable—creating lasting change from within the community.
