They have shown how a local business can be a force for good, preserving our traditions while making a real difference in people's lives," said Supervisor Janice Hahn.

Accepting the proclamation, Rolando Pozos, President of Amapola Market, reaffirmed the company's commitment to giving back: "At Amapola Market, the community is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it's providing masa for family celebrations, supporting scholarships for Latino students, or partnering with Supervisor Hahn on meal giveaways, we take pride in making a positive impact. We are honored to receive this recognition and will continue to serve the communities that have supported us for generations."
