We believe in the right of underserved communities to have access to healthy local food, and <br />food production. <br />We believe in the need for a partnership amongst local business, community organizations and residents, <br />where we create a culturally relevant, community serving, accessible and affordable downtown that does <br />not displace but is inclusive of its Latino identity and people. <br />We support the recent findings of the Wellness District Market Study report, conducted by The Next <br />Practice, that describes a Latino Revival Scenario market strategy for the downtown, stating that the <br />greatest demand in the downtown is for wellness goods and services and that the largest purchasing power <br />is in the Latino resident of the surrounding central Santa Ana neighborhoods. <br />We support the proposed Wellness District Resolution and believe the following: <br />• A Wellness District in the downtown will uplift Santa Ana as a destination for food, health, <br />culture, and a family experience <br />• Affordable, culturally relevant events and community friendly locations will bring Santa Ana <br />residents, commuters and visitors downtown <br />"Calle Cuatro" memorializes and affirms Latino history and present <br />• Community - run microfarms will replace vacant lots to provide affordable, local, healthy food for <br />residents and restaurants <br />Economic development downtown and citywide will include everyone L 0 u i <br />• Through Wellness We Thrive Together L i U0 <br />Name/Organization I � � — Ci� d � �` '� ^` A` T � A,/� ' <br />Address: B�Ce !U L C q City, Zip: l 71 // \ �✓ <br />7eI,( <br />Email Address: L--- ep L- / Uo S T/1 Phone: �'1'Dext: Yes or No) <br />-,/, T avt dk t L • C rw <br />10G live in Santa Ana ❑ I'm a student n Santa Ana (school) <br />I worship Santa Ana <br />❑ I work in Santa Ana ❑ I shop in Santa Ana <br />s, <br />(;d\, A,-T� <br />4) to <br />c 6L7� (Place of w rship) <br />-V �L./ <br />I <br />Bull Ing Healthy <br />A\x, 1� <br />C FA" (L to <br />n Communities,: i <br />At <br />T 0G' <br />L�nr� <br />
