"I came with exactly the same aspirations that right now Venezuelans have. I came for a better life," says owner Lorena Cantavorici.The migrants who have come to Denver over the past year are grateful for the services provided by the city, nonprofits and local residents, and say they'recould change that.
Cantarovici is from Argentina, where she lived"on the edge of homelessness" before she came to the United States more than two decades ago, she says, with only a backpack and $300 in her pocket. The Quality Inn has room for 800 people, but the city currently reports a total of 600 migrants in all of its shelters.
The weekly delivery will include enough empanadas for each migrant to take two or three."It's a generous meal," she notes."This is not something just to be an appetizer. This is a meal.", director of the Denver Newcomer Program. The city once had as many as seven non-congregate migrant shelters, but has been and as many as half of them are still in the metro area, according to the Mayor's Office.
To make meals more enticing Venezuelan migrants often make arrepas or find grills and cookpinchos, which are skewers with sausage and chicken. A few South American food vendors have even set up shop outside the Quality Inn.
