Wellness.
Wealth. Belonging.
Diaspora Groceries Cares is a community-rooted nonprofit supporting wellness, food justice, and entrepreneurship in South LA. We connect local farmers and food leaders with grants, healing practices, business coaching, and other opportunities—because food is more than fuel. It’s memory. It’s medicine. It’s a movement.
WELCOME TO
Welcome to Diaspora Groceries Cares
We’re a community development nonprofit founded by Tiffany Haddish, Richea Jones, and Marva Smith to create food justice, business opportunity, and cultural wellness in South Los Angeles.
Through micro-grants, wellness education, and entrepreneurial coaching, we help neighbors turn recipes into revenue, pain into healing, and ideas into lasting change.
We believe food is more than fuel—it’s power.
Together, we’re building a healthier, more equitable future.

Join Our Innovation Food Supplier Summit this November.
I never thought I’d run a business. Now I have returning customers and a booth every month.
