LONG BEACH, Calif.–More than 45 LBS Financial Credit Union employees, friends and family members volunteered their time to clean up a portion of the Long Beach coastline.
LBS Financial has actively participated in the City’s Adopt-a-Beach program since 2011, adopting the popular stretch of coastline between 14th Place and 19th Place off of Ocean Boulevard. When adopting the beach, cleaning does not just take place on the sand but also in the parking lot and bike paths. LBS Financial is committed to cleaning up the beach a minimum of three times per year. The next two beach clean-ups are scheduled for May and July, just in time for the large crowds to enjoy a clean and safe coastline.
Aside from an occasional article of clothing, the volunteers filled up bags of Styrofoam, cigarette butts, plastic bottle caps and other items detrimental to the safety of wild life and beach goers in the area.
