* On behalf of the student-owners at Food From the ‘Hood, I want to thank Ron Harris for his column about our company (Oct. 22). We would also like to publicly thank Rebuild L.A. for its ongoing business assistance.
RLA introduced us to our minority-owned investment banking firm (Luther, Smith & Small, which is working with us on a pro bono basis), as well as to our business partners: Sweet Adelaide, our Hawthorne-based salad dressing manufacturer; and Your Type, our South-Central-based label printer.
Food From the ‘Hood’s original mission was to provide jobs for youth. With the help from RLA, we are now joining forces with other Los Angeles-based businesses to create jobs for adults as well.
We encourage other companies to contact RLA for assistance in creating strategic partnerships with businesses in the “economically disadvantaged” areas of Los Angeles. By working together, as opposed to separately, we believe the economic future of Los Angeles is bright.
