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.
Donate to our Colorado Gives Campaign
Support La Fresca this Colorado Gives Day and help strengthen the local food system in Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea. From November 1 through December 9, every donation is boosted by a $1M+ Incentive Fund—meaning your gift goes even further. And if you start a new monthly recurring donation, Colorado Gives Foundation will match your first month’s contribution up to $100. This is our first year participating, and we’re aiming to raise money to support local food businesses, empower neighborhood entrepreneurs, and increase food access across our community. Donate today and help us build a more vibrant, community-led food economy!
