Long Beach Organic manages 8 Community Gardens in Long Beach. This year we are raising $15,000 to help maintain our 8 Community Gardens.
Goal: Raise $15,000 to fund maintenance improvements across 8 community gardens and support general operating expenses.
We’re reaching out to ask for your support of Long Beach Organic, a nonprofit dedicated to providing accessible, sustainable garden spaces for our local community. While our gardeners support the organization by renting plots, this covers only a small portion of the resources it takes to operate and grow. As board members, we would love to see our non-profit expand it's impact and provide more organic food to local families.
With your help, we can:
Improve ADA-accessible garden beds so everyone—regardless of ability—can participate in growing their own food.
Upgrade and maintain water-wise irrigation systems in our Giving Gardens, which has already provided over 18,000 pounds of fresh produce to those in need.
Expand community outreach and educational programming that empowers residents to live healthier, more sustainable lives.
Your donation directly supports these vital efforts and helps ensure that our gardens remain thriving, inclusive, and resilient spaces for all.
Thank you for considering a gift that will help our community continue to grow—literally and figuratively.
Thank you!

Long Beach Organic is a environmental nonprofit organization operating nine organic community gardens in the city limits of Long Beach, California. Founded in 1994, the organization locates urban vacant lots from public and private owners and turns them into beautiful community gardens for local and sustainable food production.
Long Beach Organic values environmentalism, and manages 8 parcels of land organically and sustainably. Our environmental stewardship impacts all of Long Beach, combatting urban heat islands, reducing polluted rain run off, and promoting healthier environments by not using harmful chemicals like round up or other pesticides.
Our Programs:

-Giving Gardens: We have donated 17,000lbs of fresh, organic produce to California State University, Long Beach's Food Pantry since 2020. Our partnership ensures the over 300 students visiting per day have access to local, organic produce every week.
-Community Garden Plots: With our over 300 garden plots, Long Beach community members have a chance to have their own green space to grow their own produce. Our community gardens are community hubs for local neighbors.
Community is important to us! Through our intern program we host over 15 interns per year from UCI, CSULB, and LBCC. Teaching a new generation on environmental sustainability, community engagement, and nonprofit management.
