Support Young Men in Long Beach

House of Haven has been showing up for young people in Long Beach who are navigating housing instability, hardship, and uncertainty. Now our community has a chance to show up for them.

Starting with this year’s Juneteenth at King Park celebration, Black Lives Matter Grassroots Long Beach and the Black Neighborhood Tenant Council has been hosting a community donation drive to support youth served by House of Haven.

We’re asking community members to bring a few simple but meaningful items that can make a real difference for young people trying to get through difficult moments with dignity and support.

Most Needed Items

• New men’s underwear / boxer briefs

• Food gift cards in $10–$15 increments

Suggested gift cards include:

• Fast food restaurants

• Jamba Juice

• Trader Joe’s

• Grocery stores

• Other quick meal options

For many young people experiencing housing instability, access to basic essentials and food can be inconsistent. Small acts of care from the community can help meet immediate needs while also reminding young people that they are not alone.

Drop Off Donations

Tuesday, June 30, 2026
5:30 - 7:30 PM

Whether you bring one item or several, every contribution helps.

We hope you’ll stop by, spread the word, and help us support Long Beach youth with love and community care.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated to support vulnerable young people in our city.
