Very low-income Hispanic immigrants from Central and South America living in the San Fernando Valley face urgent challenges to lifting themselves and their families out of poverty. ICON CDC's Sidewalk Vendor Program assists hundreds of aspiring and current vendors (most from immigrant communities) in owning food/merchandise carts and expanding their operations, allowing them to run businesses that can change their lives. Funding will allow ICON CDC to support grants to 15 vendors to purchase vitally needed new carts for their enterprises.
