our mission

We Love Long Beach is a community building nonprofit, (501c3) that loves to connect neighbors of all ages together on their blocks and within their complexes to create a stronger feeling of belonging and greater shared well-being we call neighborliness.
Initiative #1: Seasonal Citywide Parties that every resident is encouraged and equipped to host their neighbors on their block or complex.
* Winter: Citywide Breakfast
* Spring: Citywide Long Beach Jacaranda Fest
* Summer: Citywide Ice Cream Social
* Fall: Citywide Pumpkin Party
Initiative #2: Play Streets Long Beach’s purpose is to encourage and equip residents to temporarily shut down their street, so that families and neighbors can play outside in the street safely and freely together.

In doing so, Play Streets LB will enhance community connection, neighborhood safety, the benefits play-based learning for children, and greater overall public health.
