VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Marriott Downtown Long Beach

A big thank you to the incredible team at Marriott Downtown Long Beach for their ongoing support and generosity. Every month, these dedicated volunteers prepare comforting meals and donate essential hygiene items including shampoo, conditioner, and soap for our families. They also thoughtfully provided teddy bears tucked inside boxes with encouraging messages, small tokens that bring big comfort to the children staying with us. Their care packages help ensure each guest feels welcomed and supported throughout their stay. We’re so thankful for their commitment to making a meaningful difference, one act of kindness at a time.
