These events not only provide fun and entertainment but also foster unity, strengthen bonds among residents, and create a sense of belonging. We are committed to improving these events and creating even more opportunities for celebration, ensuring that the vibrant spirit of Argentine thrives for years to come.
MERCADO FRESCO
When Argentine Betterment Corp. began, our community had existed as a food desert for over a decade. There was no accessible grocery options nearby and it was important to the health and welfare of our community to end the food desert. At the time we secured a lease with a small grocery chain and started construction on the building.
Recently, the building was purchased by Mercado Fresco to further the goal of improving the health and welfare of our community.
There has always been a demand for decent affordable housing in Argentine. Alongside other organizations in our community we have worked tirelessly to establish new and renovated housing to upgrade the neighborhood and provide affordable housing for people who want to be part of this community.
