A community leader & organizer who always fights for the vulnerable population of LA county and Long Beach, Araceli is a fierce community champion through her work with several organizations that have always focused on public service. Serving the community since 12, Araceli followed in her parent's footsteps who fed the hungry and clothed the cold in Mexico. While working for the City of Long Beach, she was connected to Eloise through a phone call for a service request. Eloise called back to return gratitude and extend Araceli an invitation for the 2020 Christmas Giveaway. "As she told me what was that about, I fell in love with the action she was working on. Immediately I told her I wanted to be a part of it. I’m here since then”
