Operation Holiday Heart Gift Bags, December 2022

In December, Rose Park Neighborhood Association teams up with Heart of Ida, a local nonprofit that supports Long Beach seniors in need with programs and services that sustain independence and connection within their community. The collaboration is a holiday project known as Operation Holiday Hearts,” which provides holiday gift bags of personal care packages to bring hope and joy to seniors during the holiday season.

You can participate at the following locations and upcoming events:


On Saturday, December 9th from 2pm to 4pm we will be in front of Envy Studio at 314 Elm Ave during East Village’s 2nd Saturday festivities. Come make an ornament for the senior gift bags or pick up a stocking stuffer that includes the makings of a unique “Hearts Across Long Beach” decoration – all materials included for a suggested donation of $5. 

On Tuesday, December 12th from 5pm to 7pm we will be on the patio of The Good Bar at 3316 E 7th Street making ornaments for the senior gift bags. We hope you will join us to give back to the seniors living in our community.
