Denver Community Leaders, Celebrities Rolling Tortilla For Tepeyac Health Center

DENVER (CBS4) – Tepeyac Community Health Center has been providing medical, mental, and oral care in north Denver for 27 years. Most of the patients are from the Latino Community, and have limited access to health care. The Health Center cares of a lot of frontline workers who've been impacted particularly hard by coronavirus.

For the 20^th year, Tepeyac Community Health Center is holding a tortilla making contest to raise money for its Patient Assistance Fund.

"So these funds will go directly to support patients who have needs over and above the services we normally provide, for specialty care, for example," said Jim Garcia, CEO, Tepeyac Community Health Center.

CBS's Andrea Flores will join 17 other celebrities and community leaders in the competition. It will be held Thursday, May 6^th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. online. Community members can help pick a winner by texting "TORTILLA 21" to 44321 and make a donation. The winner gets the Tortilla Titan Award, which is a hand painted rolling pin.
