“A” Future in Food

“It’s not about capitalism... it’s about helping the community,” says Moises Araiza, 21.

“It’s not about capitalism; it’s about helping the community,” says Moises Araiza, 21.  Moises enjoys assisting customers at Super A Foods, a family-owned grocery store.

As a HIRE LA’s Youth intern, his job consists of stocking items, straightening shelves, and bagging groceries.  Moises plans to someday open a vegetarian deli.  His ultimate goal is to help his community become healthier by providing affordable, nutritious food.

Super A Foods is giving him the opportunity to learn about the food industry and what it takes to own a business.  His supervisor Gabriel Ordonez mentioned that he would love to hire him after the summer internship is completed.

Moises is working hard to obtain his goal; he has two jobs to pay for school and to support himself. He is also taking this opportunity to save up for his future entrepreneurial plans. This intern has taken advantage of what HIRE LA offers LA youth: a chance to succeed.
