Every weekday, COA provides groceries and fresh produce to over 100 community residents in need. As food costs rise, the pantry is a life-line to families, seniors and individuals who otherwise might go hungry. Volunteers are essential in making this happen!

Volunteers will assist clients with selecting and receiving food. Volunteers also sort and prepare donations and food deliveries for distribution.

Volunteers must be able to stand, move and lift 10 pounds. Close-toed shoes are required, and volunteers should wear casual, modest clothing.

About Christian Outreach in Action

Location:

515 East Third Street, Long Beach, CA 90802, US

Mission Statement

Christian Outreach in Action (COA) is a non-denominational non-profit organization whose mission is to transform the lives of homeless and impoverished individuals in Long Beach and Greater Los Angeles since 1981.

Description

For over 40 years, we have been a staple in the community, serving the local Long Beach and Greater LA Community experiencing economic hardship, by offering food, diapers, legal aid, Senior Programs, clothing, and more to anyone in need. We are the only agency in Long Beach that provides hot meals every day of the week, a public restroom, and a food bank five days a week. Our programs include a food bank distribution featuring fresh produce and non-perishable items, a weekly diaper giveaway, pet food, hygiene kits, clothing, household furniture and goods, public bathrooms, holiday community events, legal clinic, low-income housing units, and other essentials.

We continue to provide services and resources to low-income individuals to include the homeless, seniors, struggling mothers and families, and those who just need hope and a hand-up to gain and sustain independence. We inspire and give hope to those in need. We thank our donors and volunteers for their time and resources in helping impact so many lives - as we are not government-funded. We couldn't do this, and have such a huge impact without their time and generosity.
