Long Beach Cares
Long Beach, CA Helping Long Beach, MS
On August 30th Mayor Bob Foster will be traveling to Long Beach, Mississippi, to deliver a $40,000 check to help the ongoing relief effort.
The official "Long Beach Cares" campaign will be wrapping up this month, coinciding with the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Recovery for Long Beach, Mississippi and the many other Gulf cities affected by the disaster will take decades. Though our city's official campaign is ending, the ongoing efforts by community groups will no-doubt continue. On the pages of this website, the numerous events that have taken place in Long Beach, California have been archived and will serve to promote the continuing efforts.
A Community that Cares - Summary
The following lists show most of the efforts, which have taken place in the Long Beach community since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast -- many were the original spontaneous community efforts that inspired this "Long Beach Cares" website and later inspired our City's official "Long Beach Cares" campaign -- both lists show the depth of compassion that is an integral part of the fabric of Long Beach, California -- something that the community's residents can be proud of. Long Beach does care -- that is a fact.
