G4G OCLB + Casa Youth Shelter 9/17/22

Join G4G OC/Long Beach as we help beautify the Casa Youth Shelter

We are partnering with the Casa Youth Shelter for some fall cleaning! There are 3 activities available:

1. Join us in some fall cleaning to beautify the shelter. Help us wash all our windows and screens. Help sand and stain some benches. Bonus if anyone has a power washer we can borrow for the day!

2. Help landscape the front of our shelter, clean up our fountain and courtyard, and beautify the campus for the youth who live with us! (Bring gardening gloves and trowel/rake if you have them – not required!)

3. Work together to make bags of essential items for our local community to distribute to youth and adults experiencing homelessness. Decorate the bags, fill them with water, socks, sanitizer and food items, and help share them around our community.
