Hello, IMPORTANT NEWS

Dear Circulo Community:

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic please see important information and resources below.

In addition, please note our Food Pantry is open on Thursdays from 2 to 4 pm.

Dedicating itself to vulnerable populations, Circulo continues to provide services as best we can, while also ensuring for the health and safety of all.  To this end, we have restricted our face to face services.

Staff is available to respond to needs via the phone and internet.

Our food pantry continues to remain operational at this time however distribution will occur outside our Long Beach office and consumers will not be allowed to enter our office.  We will continue to keep you appraised of our food pantry services as they may need to be suspended pending county and state recommendations.

We ask during distribution times that people practice social distancing and space themselves to protect their health and those of others.

Check our website for any updates or call our office.

As things change from day to day, we will continue to keep you informed

Please contact your doctor or a hospital if you are sick.  This is recommended prior to visiting your doctor or a hospital.  In case of an emergency you should still call 911.
