Jose Tornero is the owner of El Barrio Market, a wholesale and retail specialty foods business in Tucson, Arizona. The store plays a vital role in the lives of many families as one of the only community markets in Tucson’s long-standing South 6^th Avenue neighborhood.

Like ACCION, Jose is helping his clients overcome the economic downturn. By providing small charge accounts to his regular customers, Jose has made sure El Barrio Market plays a vital role in helping neighborhood families put food on the table even on nights when the cash to pay for groceries may not be available. Jose says, “working together—that’s the key to get through these difficult times.”

Hear more about how Jose is using his business as a catalyst for positive change in his Tucson neighborhood and how ACCION supports his commitment to his community.
