The Waverly Market is founded by the Italian immigrant Stefanini family. This establishment not only provided Italian specialties and homemade goods but also became a cultural staple that supported the community's health by offering familiar, nutritious foods tailored to the Italian diet. Access to culturally appropriate food is a crucial social determinant of health that helps maintain dietary habits and mitigate potential nutritional imbalances within immigrant communities.
