WSLB Holiday Drive
The holidays are here, let’s spread some cheer!
This year we will be hosting a holiday drive to support the Women’s Shelter of Long Beach (WSLB), a local non-profit organization whose mission is to eliminate domestic violence through compassionate intervention, education and personal empowerment. WSLB offers a variety of services from counseling and safety planning to education and even housing.
The WSLB Holiday Drive is a great opportunity for LBT employees to collect items such as food, toiletries, toys and essentials for those who need them most. LBT will be collecting items beginning Tuesday, December 1 through Monday, December 14, 2020.
