Next service day: Saturday, September 28

In-person volunteers and donations are needed.  Specifically, donations of men’s and women’s jeans and shorts are needed.  Please bring items to local church offices for distribution.  Church volunteers staff the donations table where clothes, shoes, socks, hygiene kits, flashlights, blankets, toilet paper and paper towels, dog food and snacks are all distributed. Jamie Armstead with Jumpstart Industries operates the food truck. Clergy serve communion and offer prayer.  All of our churches contribute to this ministry where we serve about 50 to 60 people each month. Most are encamped within one mile of our mobile site. We see familiar faces and new faces. Many are awaiting a housing voucher from the City of LB Health Department multiservice center, and will eventually move to an apartment at a converted motel. The Homeless Services Bureau of the Health and Human Services Department of the City of Long Beach is partnering with us monthly! You are welcome to give us a hand sometime sorting clothes, or at the site.  Please reach out to coordinator, Michael Naylor 714 328 1503 or Rev. Melinda Dodge (E: Melinda@BeingtheChurchLB.org)
