Predicted Storm Cancels Goodwill Mission by Police
- Share via
Predicted heavy rains have forced the Long Beach Police Department to postpone its “Operation Baja” goodwill mission until Dec. 19, a police spokeswoman said.
Four tons of food, toys and clothing were scheduled to be taken across the border to impoverished communities in Tijuana and Rosarito today, said Officer Maria Mendez-Lopez.
With the postponement, donors who still want to contribute items can drop them off at the center at 324 Pine Ave.
The facility is open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Mendez-Lopez said.
