We Love Long Beach was born after 4th generation, Founder and Executive Director, Scott Jones, came to the realization that he didn’t know many of his neighbors and his childhood neighborhood was missing community and relationships. In 2008, he and his sister, Robin, launched the first of many breakfasts at the greenbelt in front of their home. After 3 years and 23 breakfast in all 9 districts and a few BBQ’s at local parks, they realized they needed to shift their focus and instead of going into neighborhoods and serving eggs and bacon, why not invite people to host their own event on their block. This was the beginning of the Citywide Events, Breakfast, Ice Cream Social and Pumpkin Party.
