Established in 2018, M2AM set out to support the city of Long Beach by providing recovery resources and stabilization. We have served over 600 lives and we continue to strive to find ways to help change the lives in our community.
Our Mission
The Mess 2 A Message mission was developed from the desire and drive to create a safe, same-opportunity agency to help any and all populations by developing support systems that will encourage growth and sustainability in their lives. Using a person-centered approach, Mess 2 A Message endeavors to support individuals to stabilize their housing needs, address their physical and mental health needs, maximize their self-sufficiency, and empower them to make positive contributions to their community.
“The city of Long Beach has a need, and Mess2AMessage is stepping up to the plate. ”
