The South LA Cafe Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit affiliate of South LA Cafe aims to break the shackles of systemic oppression and inequality by creating/building/empowering an equitable, healthy, and sustainable South Central community for all people. Our model focuses on the following three pillars...
