| How you help | Each week, our dedicated volunteer team distributes 20,000+ lbs. of groceries and fresh produce, as well as clothing and toiletries, to more than 3,000 homeless individuals, low-income families, students, seniors, veterans, and homebound people with disabilities or medical conditions, on a free or nominal donation basis. |

| About us | Long Beach Community Table (LBCT) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, member-owned cooperative that nourishes those who are struggling and provides resources that allow us all to mutually sustain each other, our families, and our neighbors. In the spirit of community, many of our volunteers are also recipients, and vice versa…this is what makes us a true mutual aid organization and not just a charity. In addition, our team builds, plants, maintains, and harvests numerous urban gardens on private property throughout the City that provide us with fresh, organically grown produce for our programs, as well as for the hosts. We hold various workshops at our Bellflower facility to promote self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on society’s existing structure. |
