In addition to these efforts, Amapola Market extended its support to the Latino Equality Alliance’s Youth Scholarship Program in 2024.
Through a fundraising campaign featuring the sale of the custom-made “200% Latinx” reusable shopping bags, the company helped fund scholarships to empower the next generation of LGBTQ+ Latinx leaders.
