with homelessness to a holiday lunch on Monday at 10:00AM.<\/p>\n<p>The luncheon, to be held at Beacon for Him Ministries Homeless Outreach, will provide lunch specialties prepared by Cesar\u2019s Bistro Chef Cesar Villarreal and served by Chef Cesar\u2019s wife and co-owner Luz Angelica Torres, as well as the restaurant\u2019s staff.<\/p>\n<p>The multi-course early lunch will provide a meal

statement. \u201cProviding this lunch is our way of of giving back to the Long Beach community this holiday season while bringing attention to the city\u2019s growing homelessness concern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the menu will be lentil soup, Chef Cesar\u2019s specialty saut\u00e9ed rice with pork and chicken and the restaurant\u2019s signature empanadas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were excited and thankful when Cesar\u2019s Bistro approached us about serving lunch to our clients,\u201d said Shannon James, president at Beacon for Him Ministries, in a statement. \u201cOur clientele does not get the opportunity to enjoy our local restaurants so this will be very much appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Cesar\u2019s Bistro, visit the Facebook page <a
