PANTRY HIGHLIGHT

LONG BEACH GIVES

We are humbled and grateful to be participating in Long Beach Gives' annual one-day event full of online giving! The Laurén Chalmers '83 Beach Pantry operates as the official pantry for Long Beach State University (LBSU) students. We provide food, fresh produce, toiletries and school supplies to students experiencing food and housing insecurity.

Unfortunately, one in five LBSU students suffers from food insecurity at some point during their college careers. Studies show that prolonged hunger impacts students' abilities to study, retain information and graduate on time. By clicking the link below you can make a direct donation to the Pantry!

Even the smallest donation helps students in need!
