By Ernest Fredony Jr. Ministere Jesus Haitian has been the cornerstone of the Homestead community since 1959. Beyond religious activities, this church provides a wide range of benefits to its congregation and the wider communities through social support, education, practical assistance, and community events. This includes facilitating food pantries, running soup kitchens, and donating clothes and furniture. However, Bear Atlantic Group (BAG) threatens to demolish this site as they currently await approval to start development of a multi-family housing project called "Homestead Commons". BAG promises that along with the new housing units, they'll build a new church along with office space. This comes with a lot of skepticism, considering that along with the rest of America, Miami's housing crisis suffers from soaring prices and rent, shortages of affordable units, and a rapid increase in house prices which is hardly supported by the current administration and its economy. The promise of a replacement church rings hollow when Miami-Dade already suffers from a housing crisis driven by developments that prioritize profit over community needs.

By Ana V Rodriguez While there are many restaurants serving Cuban croquetas, not all have the history or brand that Sergio’s has had on several generations in South Florida. Sergio’s celebrated its 50th anniversary on Wednesday, October 1st, coinciding with National Croqueta Day. This celebration wasn’t just for the restaurant, but also for its community. “Celebrating on the same day is fun for the community,” said Carlos Gazitua, CEO of Sergio’s. “It’s really about giving back, but also about celebrating our roots.” Thousands of families and individuals have been touched by this restaurant, which keeps them coming back and growing with it. From coming as young children to bringing their own kids decades later, Sergio’s is always there for them. Rachel Yedo, who started coming as a teenager and still comes, now to buy food for her family, describes it this way. “I started coming here for breakfast in high school,” Yedo said. “We would skip classes and come enjoy this wonderful breakfast, which is still here. So I’ve been a very local customer for a long time.” The celebration on Wednesday took place at Sergio’s on Coral Way. They kicked off the festivities with a special small menu featuring authentic 1970s prices. As the day progressed, several public figures and government officials arrived, including Anthony Rodriguez, Miami-Dade County President and Commissioner; Nicole Reinoso, Doral City Councilwoman; and Francis Suarez, Mayor of Miami. In the afternoon, the celebration moved to the restaurant’s patio, where a small red carpet and live music were laid out. Guests shared more about Sergio’s history and future plans. One of Sergio’s big plans for the future is expanding its menu, confirming that new dishes and flavors are coming to its authentic, yet modern, restaurant. But to all the fans of their croquetas, don't worry: they're not going anywhere.

Arcola Lakes Senior Center By Ernest Fredony Jr. This past government shutdown marked one of the longest in its history. And with that came delays in SNAP benefits, which largely affected low-income communities across Miami-Dade. This upcoming Thanksgiving marked the largest attendance, when hundreds showed up for a food giveaway event held in West Little River. People who attended received gift bags that contained Thanksgiving Day food, all made possible by sponsors of the event: Farm Share, United HomeCare, the Prosperity Social Community Development Group, Inc., and MJD Wellness. The demographic of residents of this neighborhood are mostly Hispanic and Black, notably of Cuban and Haitian ancestry, whose median household income is approximately $26,756 as recorded in the year 2023. SNAP benefits were halted due to the lack of funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which forced them to initially suspend benefits and later issue reduced payments because they lacked the full amount of funds for the month of November. The Trump administration justified these cuts as a way to cut spending, correct mistakes, and refocus efforts on what it considers priorities for American farmers, though the reasoning remains unclear to affected communities. These decisions have done more harm than good, which has further disrupted the communities of Miami-Dade.
