Got time? Come join us to pack and deliver meals for ill, disabled, and elderly homebound residents in Long Beach, Signal Hill, and Leisure World Seal Beach. You'll have fun and also make a few friends while you're at it! Volunteers are needed to help out a few hours once a week (or more often if you'd like). We operate Monday through Friday year-round, except for holidays.
