Times are hard – here are some leads for safety services
The economy has not been a friend to many, especially here in Southern California. You may know of someone who needs critical assistance to remain safe. We’ve learned from city personnel that there are key resources for those with food insecurity or threat of homelessness. Please, please pass this information on to those who might benefit. And, if possible and you have the wherewithal please send a donation to these organizations.
Remind folks that they should bring a form of ID and proof of LB residency – some sites have different requirements – it helps to call first to confirm.
