We are kicking off the Road to Our 10 Year Anniversary on Thursday, September 19, 2019. In 10 weeks, Love in the Mirror will turn 10-years-old! That is how old Jonas was told he would have to be before he could volunteer at many of the shelters in his area. He was only 6-years-old and didn’t want to wait! We are so glad he didn’t! With the help of donors and volunteers, Love in the Mirror has helped over 60,000 people in need and created hundreds of volunteer opportunities.

Follow our journey for the next 10 weeks as we share all of our memories, events, donations, volunteers, accomplishments, and more in weekly newsletters and on our website, facebook, and instagram! Make sure to tag #loveinthemirror in your memories, too!

Having the support of the #lbfd is always amazing! At our first hygiene collection drive with the @lbcitylibrary the @longbeachfire department brought a lot of great donations and their fire engine for the attendees to check out. We are looking forward to working with them at our future events! #roadto10years #loveinthemirror #helpingothers
Our main personal hygiene drive is in the spring each year. We rely on local businesses, schools and churches to help us collect donations each year. Hotels and airlines are also one of our biggest donors. Let us know if you would like to help. #roadto10years #loveinthemirror #helpingothers #community
One day we received a message from a librarian saying Jonas gave her his business card while he was visiting with his family and she was interested in helping out. They partnered with us for several years in our personal hygiene drive and would host collection sites at all of the libraries in Long Beach. It’s all about making connections and working together. Something Jonas knew at an early age. #roadto10years #loveinthemirror #personalhygiene #community #hepingothers @lbcitylibrary
Thank you to @hdr_inc and the #youngprofessionalsgroup for donating 321 sandwiches this year to us #community #peanutbutterjellytime #longbeach
In the summer of 2010 we visited #Skidrow and helped We Care outreach on the first Saturday of each month, distributing about 300 personal hygiene kits to homeless people each visit. The items we used to create kits came from our Spring personal hygiene collection drive, where we collected about 10000 hygiene items each year. #roadto10years #loveinthemirror #helpingothers #community
We have made over 60,000 sandwiches since 2009. We have hosted events and you have hosted events and together we have made A LOT of sandwiches and fed A LOT of hungry people. Our calendar is almost full for 2019, but we encourage you to host your own sandwich making event with your friends and family and we can make sure we can they get picked up and distributed to those in need. If you are not from SoCal we will be happy to help you find a place near you that can help you distribute them. #loveinthemirror #roadto10years #peanutbutterjellytime #volunteer #giveback #stophunger #helpothers #longbeach
We are booking events for the fall and winter. They are a great way to team-build with your group or bond with your friends and family while giving back to the community. Our sandwiches feed people on the streets, in shelters, supply food banks and more. And best of all, people of all ages can participate! #peanutbutterjellytime #loveinthemirror #roadto10years #community #volunteer
A few years back at one of the @semillitas_preschool #peanutbutterjellytime events, we were fortunate to have received a grant from @cargill to further our food box program which provided low-income families during the winter non-perishable food. This included food to make #peanutbutterandjelly sandwiches 🥪#loveinthemirror #roadto10years #community #foodsecurity #helpingothers #fightinghunger
