Christian Outreach in Action (COA) [https://www.coalongbeach.org] provides services to help families and individuals to get back on their feet and make progress toward a healthy and sustainable life. In this video, Bridgett talks about being her experience with a major regional disaster, and how COA responded.

A terrible brush fire gave her and her family 10 minutes to gather belongings and pets, and flee their home. Homeless for 10 days without the basic necessities, Bridgett came in touch with COA, she explains.

They were there to help us because literally, we had nothing, Bridgett says in the video. Anything you might take for granted in life a pillow, blankets, even ketchup and mayonnaise they didnít have.

So they were there for us Words canít express, like, what they did for us and how they helped put our lives back together.

COA is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which is based in a church property in downtown Long Beach; but operationally it is nondenominational, with a belief in faith-based teachings that tell us to provide compassionate assistance to those in need.

We are compelled by the need around us to feed people in need, provide spiritual support, help heal the sick ... and to ultimately teach them the skills necessary to reach and sustain self-sufficiency. To do this, COA depends almost entirely on private donations.

We have been blessed by the support from the community, in terms of donated food, clothing, and other items, as well as sponsorships and corporate assistance.
