While working at the ice cream shop and since its closure in 2007, she also serves at the executive director of Vecinos Unidos, a neigborhood based, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1992 that helps individuals and families who earn 80% or below the area median income become first time homeowners as well as address neighborhood security, public services (streets, animal protection, parks, garbage, and postal service), education, health, and economic development.

    Tonight, Tuesday, February 2nd from 7pm to 10pm, our neighborhood is coming together to help raise funds for Vecinos Unidos at the site of Rosa Lopez’s old store, now occupied by the equally wonderful Cafe Espumuso, 408 N. Bishop Avenue in Dallas. Hosting tonight’s event will be Tommie Kearney and among the features will be Oak Cliff literary rock star and co-owner of Cliff Notes Prolonged Media, Opalina Herebia-Salas. Stop by to listen or perform, learn more and donate to Vecinos Unidos, and grab some very tasty empanadas and a smoothie.
