ABOUT CHRIS SWEENEY

Chris Sweeney has called Long Beach home for nearly two decades. He chose this city to build his dreams — to raise a family, start a business, and invest in neighbors he now considers friends. A former Long Beach State athlete, Chris learned teamwork, grit, and humility on the field, lessons he brings to everything he does.

 

RightMealz began as Chris’s small, stubborn idea and grew into a neighborhood hub where people share meals, stories, and opportunities. He built RightMealz from the ground up, creating local jobs, mentoring young people through internships, and using the business as a platform to amplify other small local vendors.

 

When wildfires threatened the region, Chris didn’t wait. He turned RightMealz into a donation center, organized drives, and helped deliver nearly 6,000 sandwiches to first responders on the front lines. Those relief efforts reflect how he shows up: hands-on, practical, and rooted in care for neighbors.

​

Chris partners with local sports brands to run community health and wellness programs — free events where families come together to get active, learn healthy habits, and support one another.

 

He believes strong neighborhoods come from everyday connections: a shared meal, a coach who listens, a business that gives someone their first break.

​

Long Beach is where Chris wants to stay — to protect its character, support small businesses, and ensure every neighborhood has the resources and respect it deserves.
