# Event Details - **Event Name**: Cooking Together with the Long Beach Food Coalition - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 02 Apr, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Thu, 02 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm - **Event Description**: Share a meal, hear the story behind a new Long Beach food effort, and help cook rescued ingredients into dinners for neighbors in need.About this EventFree food shouldn't feel like charity. No paperwork, no proof of need, no questions asked — just neighbors cooking for neighbors.When SNAP benefits were cut for 42 million Americans last November, one Long Beach woman started cooking. What began as a response to a crisis has grown into the Long Beach Food Coalition — preparing and distributing free, home-cooked meals to anyone in Long Beach who needs them. Ingredients come from farmers market surplus and community donations: food that might otherwise go to waste, transformed into something warm and nourishing.Come share a free lunch, hear the story of how this got started, and then roll up your sleeves. We'l also have cookies provided by Leave No Crumbz, a cottage food business who donated their proceeds to local food banks during the SNAP crisis. For the second half of our time together, we'll cook side by side — preparing meals that go directly to neighbors in need that same evening. No kitchen experience required. Just show up hungry to learn and willing to give a little back.As the saying goes: if you have more than enough, build a longer table. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/5d8b1df0-2483-11f1-8500-4f0c3b0bf48e-rimg-w1200-h582-dcffffff-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/5dbb7cc0-2483-11f1-8500-4f0c3b0bf48e-rimg-w1200-h266-dc060503-gmir.png Sponsored by the Office of LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/long-beach/cooking-together-with-the-long-beach-food-coalition/100001985331849004 - **Event Categories**: nonprofit, food-drinks, charities, farmers-markets - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fcooking-together-with-the-long-beach-food-coalition-tickets-1985331849004 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Long Beach - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Bay Shore Community Congregational Church (UCC) - **lat**: 33.7630506 - **long**: -118.1339604 - **full address**: Bay Shore Community Congregational Church (UCC), 5100 East The Toledo, Long Beach, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Long Beach Fresh (https://allevents.in/org/long-beach-fresh/25121349) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/3c0110eb0bb987f516a884f933670da7b8b106b065b2f2ed25285d1323e8a77e-rimg-w1200-h669-dc2e3231-gmir.jpg?v=1774028231 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/24faa9195786e1aedf4fa23b1ed9e5bbbf66691ab34428302a259592292cc4ce-rimg-w400-h400-dcc4bfab-gmir.jpg?v=1774028231 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening?

Urban agriculture is becoming an increasingly viable source of fresh affordable foods.We believe in helping all three parts of a local food economy work together: Eaters (consumers), Feeders (establishments ranging from schools and hospitals to restaurants, distributors and co-operatives) and Seeders (local farms and growers). Eaters, Feeders and Seeders comprise the agricultural cycle of supply, distribution, and demand. If Eaters, Feeders and Seeders can become more connected, both supply and demand for local food production will scale up and become a change agent in public health and the local economy." } ] } ] ```
