The “Hernandez Health Walk” is an annual health walk in honor of our beloved Anderson Hernandez. Before his passing, Anderson expressed wanting all corner store owners to take a day to come together and celebrate our labor. In the process of bringing his vision to life, unfortunately, Anderson passed. In honor of him, we made the decision to name this walk after him, with a goal to raise awareness for the health of our corner store owners. In addition to the health walk, we also started an emergency fund, with the intention to help any member in the event of tragedy or emergency. This emergency fund is money set aside to cover the costs of unexpected, and often, expensive events. Ideally, this emergency fund will help alleviate some stress among members during this time.

To Anderson: you are truly missed and loved and we will continue to celebrate you and your greatness every year!
