Alfredo and Guadalupe Lopez –proprietors of Arteaga’s Super Save Food Center in Gilroy – received a Champions for Change Award from the Network for a Healthy California – Bay Area Region because of their dedication to the community of south Santa Clara County. They have taken action to improve their personal health, the health of their customers and the health of the community by increasing the access of fruits and vegetables to the low-income population. The Lopez’s have been working with the Network for a Healthy California – Retail Program and Latino Campaign to promote the importance of eating fruits and vegetables and being physically active every day. This is evident in the activities and nutrition information they have provided for the community, and visible throughout their supermarket.
Alfredo and Guadalupe Lopez have made countless donations to provide healthy food demonstrations for community events, including the Cinco de Mayo Fruit and Veggie Fest hosted earlier this year, which attracted more than 3,000 people who were able to get nutrition education information.
This is a fraction of some of the activities that the Lopez’s have provided as part of their dedication to improve the health of community members in Santa Clara County. They have previously received the Santa Clara County YMCA’s Activate America Award and tomorrow will receive a Champions for Change award from the Network for a Healthy California-Bay Area Region, which recognizes their commitment in improving the health of the community.
