| LONG BEACH, Calif.–Each year employees of LBS Financial Credit Union select a local charity to donate gifts and supplies during their Holiday Breakfast in December, and this year selected Families Uniting Families. With stay-at-home orders and limits on gatherings last year due to COVID-19, the CU’s annual Holiday Breakfast was canceled. In accordance with the City of Long Beach and LA County guidelines, LBS Financial was able to host its first holiday breakfast in two years. Families Uniting Families works to cultivate nurturing and knowledgeable families to protect and meaningfully enhance the welfare and stability of vulnerable children and their families. Today, FUF has safely provided care in their foster care program to approximately 1,000 children, and in total, approximately 150,000 days of care, the credit union said.
