We are committed to continuing to ensure the health, wellness, and safety of our community. With
public health experts overwhelmingly recommending social distancing, The LGBTQ Center Long Beach will be closing for walk-in visits as of tonight. We are all still working tirelessly to provide support, information, affirmation, and resources to our community. Beginning Tuesday March 17 all services will be offered remotely until further notice.
In order to encourage social distancing, the majority of The Center's staff will begin working remotely this week. There will be no on-site support available to the public.
How Do I Reach The Center?
The Center will be staffing our main phone line at 562-434-4455 from 10am-7pm Monday through Friday. After hours, or if our phone staff are unable to answer your call, you can use our virtual attendant to connect with the department you would like to reach. You can also continue to email us at
[email protected] or send a direct message on social media.
