Your Gift Fills the Gaps Others Leave Behind
California is home to approximately 1.5 million veterans, representing about 33% of the nation’s homeless veteran population. More than 50% of Long Beach veterans do not access care through the VA. These statistics underscore the urgent need for comprehensive support systems tailored to veterans unique experiences and challenges.
At the Long Beach Area Veterans Collaborative (LBAVC), we strive to bridge these gaps by empowering veteran-serving organizations with trained volunteers, business tools, and coordination resources.

Every Day Without Support Is a Missed Opportunity
Veterans in our community face isolation, housing insecurity, and unmet mental health needs. In 2024, the suicide rate among veterans was nearly double that of non-veterans (31.6 vs. 18.0 per 100,000 — deploymentpsych.org).
Your donation today means faster connections to care, fewer barriers to services, and more lives changed — now, not later.

Honor Their Service With More Than Words
We currently have a relationship with over 90 community partners and a robust volunteer workforce that is growing daily.
When you donate to LBAVC, you’re building a stronger, more connected support system for veterans across Long Beach. It’s a lasting tribute — not just in memory, but in action.
