North Long Beach Gets Winter Shelter
During this time of the year, I normally go do my "People of the Park" segment to shed light on issues people in Long Beach are dealing with while others are worried about what to buy for their loved ones. I'm not advocating that you should feel guilty for spending hundreds of dollars while others are sleeping outside. Well, kinda. But that's not the point of this blog. I wanted to inform you about some pretty cool news that has been on my radar lately.Jim Lewis of the Long Beach Rescue Mission recently announced that north Long Beach will have a winter shelter at the old Atlantic Farms location. Lewis plans to have about 150-180 beds at the new shelter.
The Uptown Gazette had a good interview with Lewis, "When I came here in September 2006, two weeks later I was hit with the task of putting up a winter shelter,” Lewis said. “We had to find a location. For the last three years, we’ve been in the Sixth District. But now we have a brand new location; our own facility owned by the Rescue Mission Foundation.”
Have any of you volunteered at a shelter before? What do you think about North Long Beach getting this venue for the community and those in need? Is it a waste of space? Are you concerned about the activity going on around there? Are you familiar with Jim Lewis and the Long Beach Rescue Mission?
562CityLife is funded by a Long Beach Community Foundation Connected Corridor grant supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation's Transformation Initiative.

This is great news for those people in need of a warm place to sleep in at night and also a place to get a meal. Totally not a waste of space.

I read about this too and I was pretty excited and wanted info to volunteer & help out.
I already volunteer to one shelter in Wilmington and was sad to find out that business like Target & Albertson's have pulled back (boo!) from helping them to give to "bigger" name organizations.
They also have sermons that usually they have to listen to before getting dinner but if you are hungry & cold I think you would be willing to sit through a 30 minute session to get food & a warm bed.
Please post any information that you get regarding this shelter, I will like to also help out in my city.

Wonderful news! The only "waste of space" is to have indoor locations just sitting empty when they could be helping people stay out of the elements. I'm not personally familiar with Mr. Lewis, but am going to find out more. I used to provide volunteer legal services at a shelter in OC - one of the best experiences of my life!

There are religious sessions there, but people get confused and think that they have to be Christian but they don't. Food, bed, and housing... Yea I think teaming up w/ Damico on a Time Exchange tip would be tight. Good idea....

This is not a waste of space at all... What other services do they offer? Any kind of Job skills/search services? Some time banking would be cool here, allow the receivers of the services a chance to give back to the providers.
