"Even if they're not launched yet and if they're ready to start, they can actually come here and apply for a microloan here on site. They can fill out applications, they can talk to a provider about...how much capital they would need to launch," said Rosie Sanchez-Ulloa, a program manager with the City Heights Community Development Corporation.

The event is free and will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Fair@44 at 4350 El Cajon Blvd. It will also feature free food samples from local vendors and musical performances.
