Giving Tuesday comes to Long Beach Soup Kitchen

The Long Beach Soup Kitchen has been serving the community for the past 40 years. The work they do cannot be accomplished without the support of the surrounding community.

During the month of November, they are organizing a Juice Box Drive. The goal is to collect 1,723 juice boxes by Tuesday, Nov. 28th, which is recognized globally as Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday is the charitable endcap to Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.

Why is the goal 1,723?

The Long Beach Soup Kitchen serves many meals monthly & in addition to the hot meal the guest is given a brown bag lunch with a juice box.

Businesses supporting the “Giving Tuesday Juice Box Drive” where you can drop off your donation to help The Long Beach Soup Kitchen achieve its 1,723 goal are from East to West will be Point Lookout Yoga, East End Pizza, Bright Eyes Beer Co. and Blacksmith’s Breads.

You may also make juice box drop-offs directly to LBSK between 9 to 11 a.m., Monday through Friday, at 140 West Pine St. Contact Maureen Doherty at (516)451-1071, if you need her assistance with picking up any donations you would like to make to LBSK.
