This article is groundbreaking. It demonstrates that markets can provide healthy, local, and organic foods to low-income urban communities at affordable prices while still drawing in customers and remaining profitable. Whole Foods may not be coming to Southwest LA anytime soon, but With Love Community Market and Cafe definitely will be!

With Love Market and Café
With Love Market & Cafe is located in Southwest Los Angeles. We provide locally-sourced and organic produce, meats & dairy (think farmers market products) with a café featuring delicious prepared foods and high-quality coffee, teas, juices and smoothies. The physical space of the store is meant to creatively reflect and encourage Southwest LA pride and artistry. However, what truly sets the market/cafe apart is our mission:
Jobs: The store will provide jobs, internships and improvement classes for locals, store employees and suppliers. Training, equipping and empowering youth and local residents is one way we make a difference.
Food: The market purposefully carries fresh and healthy foods from local sources, rare commodities in Southwest LA. The market also features home-cooked foods produced by local residents. The cafe offers fair-trade coffee, teas, juices and smoothies in an ambient atmosphere to come and eat/drink, work, socialize, and relax.
Investment: The profits of the store will be reinvested into the community in the form of training, educating, employment, and more. At every level of operation, the guiding principle behind the store is that a business can become a force of good for the people that they serve.
