Support our Farm to Food Bank Program by becoming a monthly donor, attending a workshop or buying our speciality flowers in our Farmstand. Beginning on March 31, 2020, Farm Lot 59 was able to launch a program to make the best use of our harvest to meet the immediate needs of our community. Together with Chef Eugene Santiago of Baryo, we have served over 2,100 nutrient-rich meals to the most vulner
able in Long Beach. We provide healthy prepared meals to residents of the Elizabeth Anne Seton Residence (“Seton House”), which is operated by Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, Inc. The goal of the Seton House is to move homeless individuals and families from crisis situations to stability and self-sufficiency. Due to the reduction of residents at the Seton House starting in September we have expanded our services to include the Long Beach Community Services Center located on 14th Street. This location, also run by Catholic Charities, serves as more of a food pantry. 14th Street can accept prepared meals as well as pantry items, raw produce, fruit, flowers, and herbs. To date, we have donated approximately 2,100 meals, 854 pounds of produce, 71 floral bouquets, 50 bunches of herbs, and 26 jars of farm-fresh salsa in a total of 16 weeks of service.
