Long Beach Community Table

Organization Description

Mission: To contribute to the health, well-being, empowerment and self-determination of under-served populations in the great Long Beach community. By providing affordable, nutritious, organic foods and eventually other goods and services, accessible to all, through a locally-oriented, collectively-managed, not-for-profit workers’ cooperative. Our intention is for this to be a platform for building mutually-beneficial community connections and to decrease dependency on the current corporate-owned structure. We are a produce delivery service, similar to an ice cream truck, with a specific and dependable route so that our clients know when to expect us and where. We are choosing to use the California Cooperative Business Model.

Health & Safety

Students must maintain safe carrying and lifting procedures if they are going to be carrying some of the heavy items. Students must also be aware and use the buddy system while at the distribution sites.
