Hi Friends!! Last Saturday I hosted a special event at MacArthur Park on
the corner of 14th and Gundry in Long Beach. I am part of The
Neighborhood Leadership Program that is offered by the City of Long Beach
Housing and Neighborhood Services Bureau. Part of the program requires that we
work in teams and host an event for the community. Our assignment was to
host a donation drive to collect donations for the homeless AKA our unhoused
neighbors. We partnered up with AOC7. AOC7 stands for Anaheim, Orange, Cherry & 7th Streets.
They are a neighborhood organization founded to improve the overall quality of
life within our community. The donation drive was a success, and I had a
blast with my team! Check out some pictures from
the event!
