Christian Outreach in Action

Christian Outreach in Action (COA) is a nondenominational, nonprofit organization that has been serving the community for over 37 years. They are not a church but follow faith-based teachings that tell us to provide compassionate assistance to those in need. They are compelled by the need around us to feed people in need, provide spiritual support, help heal the sick…and to ultimately teach them the skills necessary to reach and sustain self-sufficiency.

• COA provides a warm meal every day to anyone who comes to our doorstep – homeless and near-homeless people, low-income families, and single moms – anyone. COA provided 132,000 meals this past year, with the demands increasing on a daily basis.
• COA provides groceries twice a week to many families. Clothing, diapers, and furniture are also available weekly. We are proud to announce local partnerships that have allowed us to offer a twice weekly medical clinic to the downtown Long Beach community, a computer lab for skills training and job searches, and a free legal clinic.
• COA provides unique services: a pet food bank, bi-monthly senior events, and holiday celebrations.
