Residents of West Long Beach have a rich cultural history and diversity of ethnic cuisine that can be seen as a valuable community asset. However, the local community lacks major grocery store outlets that offer healthy food sources for residents. This means West Long Beach may be considered a “food desert.” Our certified Farmer’s Market, The Greener Good, will provide fresh produce and goods weekly in collaboration with Center Space.
