Be the Safety Net for Long Beach Families

Families work hard to create stability, safety, and opportunity for their children—but sometimes, life doesn’t go according to plan. An unexpected challenge can place additional pressure on a family that is already doing everything it can to stay on solid ground. At Children Today, we believe families should not have to face those moments alone. Our Family Stability Fund helps us be there when the families we serve need support, providing a flexible source of assistance during times of unexpected hardship.

What Does the Family Stability Fund Cover?

The Family Stability Fund is designed to be flexible in order to meet the individual needs of families. Some types of assistance may include:

  • Utility assistance
  • Rent gap assistance
  • Groceries or household supplies
  • Transportation assistance
  • Diapers, formula, clothing, and hygiene products
  • Phone or internet assistance
  • Work or school related expenses

This Long Beach Gives, our goal is to raise $10,000 to strengthen the Family Stability Fund. Your support helps Children Today maintain the resources and flexibility to respond when families face challenges that threaten their stability. Because of the generosity of our community, families can know that support is available when they need it most. Together, we can create a stronger safety net that helps families navigate unexpected challenges, maintain stability, and keep moving forward.

Mission

The mission of Children Today is to foster stability and success in children and families who are facing homelessness or who are involved in the child welfare system.
