Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market CEO Tim Mason today ceremoniously opened its doors in Long Beach at 7th Street and Nebraska.

During the celebration, which included Vice Mayor Val Lerch, the WomenShelter of Long Beach received a $1,000 donation from Fresh & Easy for its commitment to the neighborhood.

"The tremendous support we have received here in Long Beach has really helped us as we scout more locations for our stores," said Mason. "We look forward to bringing more high-quality, affordable groceries and even more good paying jobs to neighborhoods throughout this great community."

The WomenShelter of Long Beach was selected by the store staff from neighborhood nominations made through Fresh & Easy's Web site. The mission of WomenShelter of Long Beach is to eliminate domestic violence through compassionate intervention, education and personal empowerment.

"The WomenShelter of Long Beach is very grateful for the support from Fresh & Easy. This money will go to help victims of domestic violence at our agency, and comes at a time when we are seeing both an increase in the need for our services and diminishing resources to help us address the increased need," said WomenShelter of Long Beach's executive director, TuLynn Smylie.
