LBT in the Community
Long Beach Transit’s mission is to connect communities and move people…making everyday life better. In pursuit of our mission, we value the opportunities to support and collaborate in local efforts that shape the communities we serve. 
This past month LBT provided donations of coloring books, crayons, pens, toy buses and reusable shopping bags to Harbor Regional Center (HRC) and Long Beach Day Nursery (LBDN). The donated supplies were used to create resource bags for HRC families and the LBDN team.

HRC provides support and services for individuals with disabilities and their families.
Their services range from providing diagnosis, evaluations, referrals, family support and assistance in finding community resources with the goal of supporting an independent life as much as possible for clients and families. 

Providing another valuable community resource, LBDN was one of the first licensed child care programs in California to offer high-quality early care and education for young children of working parents. They are dedicated to providing their students with a lasting foundation for success. 

LBT is proud to support community-based agencies, particularly through the COVID-19 pandemic. Our communities wouldn’t be the vibrant places they are without these agencies. Thank you Harbor Regional Center and Long Beach Day Nursery!
Have you heard of LBPL To-Go?

Long Beach is lucky to be home to an exceptional library system. Although branches are closed due to safety measures, you can still get your hands on books with LBPL To-Go, a contactless pick-up service.
As an added bonus, when you reserve a children’s book for pick-up, it will come with a LBT activity book and crayons (while supplies last).
