The Long Beach Fire Department will participate once again this year in the Wow Jam celebration hosted by Wow Jam of Long Beach, a faith-based, non-profit citywide organization that includes more than 50 area churches and community groups dedicated to improving the region by helping families in need.
Long Beach firefighters will serve meals at Saturday's gathering at Poly High School, and the food and drinks are being provided by the Long Beach Firefighter's Union, Local 372.
Last year, the LBFD served 10,000 people while nearly 700 volunteers provided everything from make-overs and career advice to adults to face painting and game booths for children. Items were also given to families, including bicycles and X-box games and groceries for 800 households.
This year's event, which includes three days of celebrations at three different locations in Long Beach, is expected to serve more than 13,000 people.
Wow Jam of Long Beach is part of Wow Jam International, founded in 1991 by Stephen and Linda Tavani. Stephen is best known for his work as a producer for Smokey Robinson and Linda was "Peaches" of the singing group Peaches and Herb. Both are scheduled to appear at Saturday's celebration, which is scheduled to run from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Poly High School football field, 1600 Atlantic Ave., in Long Beach.
