About us
Who is Foundation 55?
Foundation 55 is a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can make a difference in today's socioeconomic climate.
We started extending help to the community thru food drives locally in the Long Beach area. This paired with our partner organization, the Long Beach Patriots, gave us insights into the need for support within our inner-city communities. Because of this we decided to establish 55 Foundation as a means to help our community thru different avenues of education, support, and development.
Now our organization runs multiple events every year to aid those in need throughout the Southern California.
