Our 2026 Board of Directors KRISTEN COX Executive Director Kristen Cox has been a lifelong activist, with a masters in Clinical Psychology, and has led many large and successful volunteer organizations.

Our Stories Why do we focus on growing community and supporting food security in Long Beach? Hear firsthand stories from several of our people and volunteers. Testimonials Oct. 16th, 2020 Dear Program Director,   l am writing to let you know how very deeply grateful I am for your services. When l called the LBCT Homebound program, l had just found out that, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, We, as Long Beach residents were being forced to shut down my partner’s business and to go into quarantine. I am on full disability and my partner has a micro small business, a barber shop smaller than most studio apartment bathrooms. We didn’t qualify for any assistance with the business because our income was so small. We only received one stimuIus check, for my partner because she claimed me on her taxes, We were in serious trouble! We had no money and no food, and no hope of any income. It was very scary. My disability income is only $900.00 a month while our apartment costs that much a month. I have permanent Iung damage from severe asthma and repeated lung infections, which puts me at high risk for Covid- 19, and my partner is 61 yrs. old with a history of bad lung infections especially during the annuaI coId and flu season. We are both unabIe to work due to the high risk of infection. This Ieft us very vulnerable. We turned to Long Beach Community Table for help in desperation and were SO relieved and grateful that we couId get help through this program, which brings us fresh produce, Canned goods and frozen proteins to our door on Sundays! Without this help we would not have been able to Survive. Thank you so very much. I am so relieved that you have been there for us. We are still in isolation status due to our high risk for infection with the pandemic. We would not have been able to survive without your generosity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My need will be continuing as there seems to be no other financial relief in sight. The most recent pandemic relief package has been denied by congress. We are dependent on the kindness of this program. My hope is that the grant money that you need to stay afloat comes through. There are many more like me throughout Long Beach who are also immune compromised. You are angels for us all. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. You are so deeply appreciated. In deepest gratitude, Arielle P and Jenoveva M. L To Whom It May Concern: ​ My name is Imelda F, I have been with the Long Beach Community table for 8 months now. I am tremendously blessed by the support and generosity that they give my grandma and myself. Before the pandemic I’ve been going through medical issues and their support has really helped us all around especially now during this difficult time, Long Beach Community table has fabulous volunteers who take the time and commitment in helping others. I value what they represent and when I meet others that need help I direct them to this great non-profit. Thank you for all that you do! ​ Sincerely,   Imelda F Long Beach Community Table A 501(c)3 non-profit cooperative Tax ID #83-1361910 ​ ​ Donation Dropoffs (during open hours only): 151 W Victoria St Long Beach, CA 90805   Facility Address (during open hours only): 151 W Victoria St Long Beach, CA 90805   ​ ​   Mailing Address 3166 Ostrom Ave Long Beach, CA 90808 ​ For general information, please contact: (562) 548-0774 ​ ​ ​ Get Social With Us! bottom of page --> Contact | LB Community Table top of page Long Beach Community Table   Growing Sustainable Community with Compassion and Dignity 562-548-0774                [email protected] Preguntas?   Escribanos a LBCTp re [email protected] WE MOVED: 151 W Victoria St Long Beach, CA 90805 Receive Food Relief / Recibir Alivio Comida Home Who We Are Our Team Stories Financials Get Involved Volunteer Events Give Donate Sponsor Resources Food Requests Other Resources Contact More Use tab to navigate through the menu items.

Long Beach Community Table (LBCT) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, cooperative (meaning that all volunteers and recipients share in the effort and the benefits), that nourish 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 a charity.  We do however, have an executive board that acts in emergency situations.   Our Mission ​ We foster sustainable community to support the well-being, empowerment, and self-determination of food- and housing-insecure residents in the greater Long Beach area with dignity and compassion.   Our Vision ​ We envision LBCT as the platform of a cooperative, mutual-aid society where everyone involved gives, receives, and takes care of each other to first meet basic needs, then to collectively create greater self-sufficiency for individuals, families, and communities. ​ ​ What We Do   Long Beach Community Table's primary programs:   Source and distribute organic produce, nutritious food, and basic essentials; Build and cultivate urban vegetable gardens around the city; and Provide education and resources to enable self-sufficiency.   Each week, our dedicated volunteer team distributes 40,000+ lbs. of groceries and fresh produce, as well as clothing and toiletries, to more than 6,000 homeless individuals, low-income families, students, seniors, veterans, and homebound people with disabilities or medical conditions, on a free or nominal donation basis. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, we have expanded our resources to meet the significantly increased needs of struggling area residents.   LBCT is one spoke of an interconnected web of agencies addressing food insecurity in the Long Beach/Los Angeles region. In order to achieve our mission, we collaborate with numerous local organizations , farmers’ markets, urban gardens, and businesses who contribute generous food, hygiene, financial, and other in-kind donations.   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 Long Beach facility to promote self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on society’s existing structure. ​ Volunteer With Us!
