Hands Along the Peninsula is hosting a community food drive on Saturday, December 13, 2025, from Noon to 2:30 PM at 1601 Bay Ave in Ocean Park, inviting residents across the Long Beach Peninsula to come together in the spirit of giving. This holiday event is an opportunity to support neighbors in need while celebrating the generosity that defines our coastal communities.

All cash donations will be matched by the Corder Foundation, doubling the impact of every dollar given. Donations received during the drive will be evenly divided among the three peninsula food banks, ensuring support reaches families throughout the region during the winter months.

Adding to the holiday cheer, Santa will be there, making it a fun and meaningful event for families and children as well. Whether you donate food, contribute cash, or simply stop by to show support, your presence helps strengthen the safety net for our neighbors.

Santa will be there—and we hope you will be too.
