Give to the Beach Cities Health Foundation
Together, We Can Build a Healthier Community
For more than 70 years, Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) has been dedicated to improving the health and wellness of our community. Through the Beach Cities Health Foundation, you can sustain and expand this impact by making a gift today.
The Foundation is the charitable arm of Beach Cities Health District (BCHD). It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports programs and campaigns like allcove Beach Cities, the Center for Health & Fitness and Holiday Gift Bags, ensuring our community has continued access to vital wellness services.
Your donation supports youth, families and older adults across the Beach Cities — helping every generation thrive.
allcove Beach Cities
allcove Beach Cities is a safe, welcoming center for young people ages 12–25. It provides mental and physical health, peer and family support, substance use prevention, education and employment, and wellness services under one roof. Services are offered at no cost to the young person or their family.
Your gift ensures that youth have an accessible place where they belong, free of stigma and full of support.
Center for Health & Fitness (CHF)
CHF is one of only two Certified Medical Fitness Facilities in California. More than a gym, it’s a hub for prevention, recovery and whole-person wellness.
With your support, we are raising $3 million to open CHF’s new home at 510 N. Prospect Avenue with brighter studios, updated amenities and welcoming spaces for all the programs our community loves.
Holiday Gift Bags
Every holiday season, BCHD volunteers assemble and deliver gift bags to older adults in need. Each bag is filled with seasonal cheer, resources and essentials to support our neighbors at year’s end.
Your gift makes this tradition possible and spreads joy across the Beach Cities.
