    Safe Passage at AOC7's 10th Annual Literacy Fair

    May 18, 2024 at Lincoln Elementary School

     

    DAYS Long Beach along with other community organizations were invited by AOC7 Neighborhood Organization to share information about programs and resources. We got to share information with attending families on what Safe Passage is and how they could get involved as volunteers.

     

    Mayor Rex Richardson and 6th District Councilmember Suely Saro stopped by our table to show support and share words of encouragement as we prepare to get Safe Passage going in the Orange Corridor.

    It takes a community effort to ensure this program is a success, will you help us? Sign up to volunteer on our Volunteer page and spread the word! Stay updated on volunteer opportunities, events, and trainings by following DAYS Long Beach on Facebook and Instagram (@days_lb).
