Leadership Long Beach Says:
We were contacted by the Mayor’s office to participate in a program with FoodFinders and Friends of Long Beach Animals. Unfortunately, we never received any collection boxes, flyers or other program information. To get info on that program, go to http://www.longbeach.gov/news/displaynews.asp?NewsID=4216&TargetID=85 and to see a list of locations, you can go to http://www.longbeach.gov/civica/inc/displayblobpdf2.asp?BlobID=24277.
We will try to have something by next week and make sure we engage our community of friends to contribute.
