National Philanthropy Day

The Long Beach Community Foundation (LBCF), in partnership with the Long Beach Rescue Mission, renovated the outdoor living space at the Lydia House to provide a peaceful and relaxing area for residents on October 21, 2017 with more than 50 volunteers. Specific upgrades will included outdoor dining amenities, meditation and group gathering spaces, much needed shade, decomposed granite pathways, a water feature and low maintenance landscape improvements. This outdoor face-lift is a part of LBCF’s 2017 National Philanthropy Day project, an annual project created to invest in our community.
