Today we met with Supervisor Luis Chávez, with Armando Arias, owner of Tacos El Cabezón, and with the directors of the Fresno County Department of Public Health to review options that will benefit all food vendors in our county. Starting early next year, through the Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation’s One Stop Shop project, we will be bringing information, assistance, and resources directly to vendors and small businesses throughout Fresno County. This effort includes working in coordination with cities, their Mayors, and local authorities across the county to help streamline processes, permits, and health compliance. This project will be led by Supervisor Luis Chávez, in collaboration with the Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation and the County, with the goal of supporting, strengthening, and empowering our entrepreneurial community. More details coming soon! ——— Hoy nos reunimos con el Supervisor Luis Chávez, con Armando Arias, propietario de Tacos El Cabezón, y con los directores del Departamento de Salud del Condado de Fresno para revisar opciones que beneficien a todos los vendedores de comida en nuestro condado.
