<div>For the last ten years, we (Mariam Orengo of Gustitos Boricuas, Mariosl Estrella, and Maribel Polanco of Celeste Comida)have been preparing our delicious Puerto Rican and Dominican cuisine within our community for social good, as a part of Manos Unidas’s outreach endeavors! In collaboration with Manos Unidas and BCC, I raised $7000 for roofs in my home-country of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria and when the pandemic hit, we (Mariam, Marisol, and Maribel) hit the ground running - cooking together and delivering 200 meals per week as a part of Manos Unidas’s Atravesendo Esto Juntos pandemic response, a program that ran for two years. Aside from catering gigs with Manso Unidas’s collaborators, from Jacob’s Pillow to BCC to Whitney Center for the Arts to local resident families, we have struggled to access capital to get our business idea off the ground. Having been social entrepreneurs for years together, we decided to conjoin our dreams and create a co-op. Not only do we now have a wider variety of food (Dominican &amp; Puerto Rican) on our menu, we can support each other in creating a co-op business! We took a leap of faith and purchased a food truck just six months ago! We are now raising $10,000 to purchase it’s appliances.

<div>This last year has been a tough one for us as Marisol's son, Miguel, was killed by Police at only 22 years old when Police were called for mental health support. Miguel like his mom, gave back to community working with our farmers market, Roots Rising, and building homes with Habitat for Humanity. Our community is still healing from this wound and deciding next steps to ensure this type of trauma never happens again here in Pittsfield, MA. Some weeks are harder than others for Marisol and her family, but she knows Miguel would want her to keep her dream alive - to successfully leave behind two decades of low wage work cleaning for a hotel to sharing her talents of being an amazing Dominican Chef with all of us here in the Berkshires!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our co-op works with Cooperative Development Institute, Roots &amp; Dreams and Mustard Seeds Inc, Manos Unidas, and our statewide coalition, COWOP (Coalition of Worker Owner Power) to access technical support and mutual aid so we can better reach our goals. All donations to this fundraiser are tax deductible through Roots &amp; Dreams EIN— 82-3012805 . If you prefer checks to the gofundme, you can mail them Roots &amp; Dreams and Mustard Seeds Inc. 164 Skyline Trail, Pittsfield, MA. Enter in the check memo line - La Cocineras Latinas Co-op.

<div>¡Durante los últimos diez años, nosotros (Mariam Orengo de Gustitos Boricuas, Mariosl Estrella y Maribel Polanco de Celeste Comida) hemos estado preparando nuestra deliciosa cocina puertorriqueña y dominicana dentro de nuestra comunidad para el bien social, como parte de los esfuerzos de alcance de Manos Unidas! En colaboración con Manos Unidas y BCC, yo (Mariam) recaudé $7000 para techos en mi país de origen, Puerto Rico, después del huracán María y cuando llegó la pandemia, nosotras (Mariam, Marisol y Maribel) nos pusimos manos a la obra: cocinamos juntas y entregando 200 comidas por semana como parte de la respuesta a la pandemia Atravesendo Esto Juntos de Manos Unidas, un programa que funcionó durante dos años. Aparte de los conciertos de catering con los colaboradores de Manos Unidas, desde Jacob's Pillow hasta BCC, Whitney Center for the Arts y familias residentes locales, hemos luchado para acceder al capital para hacer despegar nuestra idea de negocio. Habiendo sido emprendedores sociales durante años juntos, decidimos unir nuestros sueños y crear una cooperativa. ¡No solo ahora tenemos una variedad más amplia de comida (dominicana y puertorriqueña) en nuestro menú, sino que podemos apoyarnos mutuamente para crear un negocio cooperativo! ¡Dimos un salto de fe y compramos un camión de comida hace solo seis meses! Ahora estamos recaudando $10,000 para comprar sus electrodomésticos.

<div>Este último año ha sido difícil para nosotros, ya que el hijo de Marisol, Miguel, fue asesinado por la policía con solo 22 años cuando la policía fue llamada para recibir apoyo de salud mental. Miguel, al igual que su madre, retribuyó a la comunidad que trabaja con nuestro mercado de agricultores, Roots Rising, y a la construcción de casas con Hábitat para la Humanidad. Nuestra comunidad todavía se está curando de esta herida y decidiendo los próximos pasos para garantizar que este tipo de trauma nunca vuelva a suceder aquí en Pittsfield, MA. Algunas semanas son más difíciles que otras para Marisol y su familia, pero ella sabe que Miguel querría que mantuviera vivo su sueño: ¡dejar atrás con éxito dos décadas de trabajo de bajo salario limpiando un hotel para compartir su talento de ser una increíble chef dominicana con todos nosotros aquí en Berkshires!

<div>Nuestra cooperativa trabaja con Cooperative Development Institute, Roots &amp; Dreams and Mustard Seeds Inc, Manos Unidas, y nuestra coalición estatal, COWOP (Coalition of Worker Owner Power) para acceder a apoyo técnico y ayuda mutua para que podamos alcanzar mejor nuestras metas.
