Our practice philosophy has been heavily influenced by Dr. Grella’s grandfather, who was a dentist for 40 years and always followed the Golden Rule: He never recommended dental treatments to patients that he would not believe in recommending for himself, and Dr. Grella upholds this same standard at his practice.
Dr. Grella has been practicing dentistry for over 15 years and he has extensive training from the Navy where he did his residency and active military duty.
Our office also has over 700 Google reviews... our patients LOVE our office and you will never find a dentist who is more passionate about Dentistry than Dr. Grella.
We promise if you come to our office you will love your experience and feel right at home.
We talk a lot about giving this time of year. With the commercialization of the season, we tend to focus on the perfect present, the right price tag, the flawlessly wrapped box. But real giving — the kind that changes lives — rarely comes with a bow on top.
Giving is about showing up. It’s lending your time, skills and presence to someone who needs it. It’s seeing a gap in your community and deciding you’re the one who’s going to fill it. It’s not always monetary, and it’s rarely convenient. But it’s always meaningful.
This month, we’re celebrating giving in all of its forms, and in Long Beach, we’re fortunate to have countless examples of what that looks like in action.
In this issue, you’ll meet two local heroes who embody this spirit. Tito Rodriguez, known to thousands as the Hood Santa, traded his career as a music producer for a $12 Santa suit and a calling to serve the children and families of Long Beach’s underserved neighborhoods. Through his Local Hearts Foundation, he’s proving that the hood never lacks talent, it just lacks resources. And Duke Givens — whose Care Closet LBC is changing the conversation around homelessness entirely — is not just meeting immediate needs, but empowering our unhoused neighbors with dignity, skills and a path forward, one person at a time.
Of course, we wouldn’t be a lifestyle magazine if we didn’t also help you with the more traditional gift-giving. Our holiday guide is packed with thoughtful, locally sourced picks sure to impress. And yes, we admittedly only included gifts for her, but let’s be honest — most men appreciate a little (or a lot of) help in this area.
Here’s to a season of giving that matters, Long Beach style.
Happy Holidays,

TITO RODRIGUEZ TRADED MUSIC CAREER TO BECOME THE HOOD SANTA, DELIVERING RESOURCES, MENTORSHIP AND HOPE YEAR-ROUND
Thirteen years ago, a little boy on 17th Street said something to Tito Rodriguez that would forever change his life.
“He taps me on the chest and he says, ‘Hey — you’re the Hood Santa, because Santa never comes over here,’” Rodriguez recalled while he was in Central Long Beach that December, handing out gifts to children in need.

“I DIDN’T HAVE THANKSGIVING UNTIL I WAS A TEENAGER. WE COULDN’T AFFORD IT. MY MOM HAD TO DECIDE,
‘DO I PAY THE BILLS OR DO I BUY A TURKEY?’”
— TITO RODRIGUEZ
“It hurt me. But at the same time, it reminded me, this kid was like me growing up.”
That moment, he said, “instantly” ended his career as a music producer. “I called my wife. I said, ‘I quit music. That’s it. I found my purpose. My purpose is to serve kids, serve families, and this is what I’m going to do.’”
That little boy had spotted Rodriguez in a paperthin Santa suit he’d just ordered online.
Before that day, Rodriguez was driving through Long Beach with truckloads of toys and clothes when he accidentally terrified a man pushing his baby in a stroller.
“Keep in mind, there’s four truckloads of [guys] behind me,” he said. “He was scared, obviously. He’s like, ‘What the heck is going on?’”
Rodriguez jumped out to offer toys and water, but the man bolted, thinking he was in danger.
Afterward, a friend advised him, “You should buy a suit or something.”
So Rodriguez hopped on eBay and bought a $12 Santa suit, “the cheapest Santa suit in the world,” unknowingly stepping into the role that would define his life.
Before the red suit, Rodriguez was a successful producer working with Snoop Dogg and other Long Beach legends. Almost immediately after the boy dubbed him the Hood Santa, he began calling his old connections. “I hit up Nick from Diamond Supply and said, ‘Yo, Nick, I want to help some kids.’ He says, ‘Alright, cool.’”
Diamond Supply, at the height of its popularity in 2012, gave Rodriguez tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of clothing. He put the suit back on and headed
into Long Beach’s Eastside neighborhoods — where he was raised near 15th and Walnut.
As he worked his way through the city, he eventually was left with just two boxes. Suddenly, he hesitated. “I heard God’s voice tell me, ‘You better give it away.’ So I did.” Minutes later, his phone rang. “It was Diamond. ‘Yo, Tito, we got two U-Hauls full of Diamond for you!’” Rodriguez took it as a sign. “I knew it wasn’t just something I wanted to do, but something God was leading me into.”
By 2016, the Local Hearts Foundation was born.
Through the foundation, Rodriguez taps local companies, friends, and community members to fund and supply his efforts. He personally gathers toys, clothing, groceries, and essentials from donors — often through direct outreach and cold calls — and delivers them to families in underserved Long Beach neighborhoods. What began as one man with a Santa suit and a trunk full of toys has grown into a year-round grassroots operation powered by generosity and grit.
Although Rodriguez still delivers toys as the Hood Santa every December, the nonprofit now runs major events year-round. During the back-to-school season, Local Hearts hands out thousands of backpacks. On Thanksgiving, they distribute turkeys by the thousands.
Recently, Rodriguez worked with Toyota to donate $40,000 in Chromebooks to local children after hearing about how dangerous it was for children to get to and from the library in certain areas. “Whatever we can raise,” he said.
“INVEST IN THE KIDS, INVEST IN THE FUTURE.”
For Rodriguez, the drive is personal.
“I didn’t have Thanksgiving until I was a teenager. We couldn’t afford it. My mom had to decide, ‘Do I pay the bills or do I buy a turkey?’”
After his father passed away on Christmas Eve when he was six, Rodriguez says his family struggled to survive. But that hardship forged his outlook: “The hood never lacks talent; it just lacks resources.”
That’s why he’s especially proud of Local Hearts’ youth mentorship program. Currently, 25 kids are enrolled,
learning everything from how to open a bank account to how to build a résumé. As the program enters its second year, he plans to teach life skills: “Plumbing, how to work on cars, a tune-up, oil change, brakes — those are things you have to be taught. Those are skills you keep forever.”
One day, a mentee told him something that brought him back to that boy on 17th Street. “Thank you guys for believing in me,” the teen said. “I would have never learned any of this because I have nobody watching me.” Rodriguez remembered thinking, “He alone is worth it.”
Rodriguez’s dream for Local Hearts Foundation is to open a brick-and-mortar community center — “a building where kids can come if they need somebody to talk to.” He envisions a place where youth can learn life skills, receive mentorship, and where parents can sit beside them to “see their son learn how to change a tire — or maybe they don’t know how to do it either, and they can come learn too.”
Until that vision becomes reality, he’s not slowing down. “There are more no’s than yeses, but it doesn’t deter me,” he said. “I show people their contribution can change kids’ lives. Invest in the kids, invest in the future.”
Despite offers to take his influence into politics, Rodriguez insists he’s right where he belongs — on the streets of Long Beach, pounding the pavement for families who need a hand.
“People tell me, ‘If you cut your hair and wear a suit, you could raise $50 million.’ But why do I have to do that? I want these kids to see I’m a real guy — if I can do it, they can too.”
The Hood Santa’s mission remains simple: to show up for the next generation. “I’m not a politician,” Rodriguez said. “I’m a servant of the Lord, and I want to be good to people. That’s it.”

HOW DUKE GIVENS BUILT CARE CLOSET LBC TO EMPOWER LONG BEACH’S UNHOUSED COMMUNITY
“IT
In late 2019, the onset of the COVID19 virus left many people around the world facing fear and uncertainty about the future. For Long Beach native Sylvester “Duke” Givens, that uncertainty sparked an innovative approach to supporting people living on the streets.
only began to trust the Care Closet team — they began assisting the nonprofit in their efforts to help keep the city clean.
“We’re getting people housed,” said Givens. “We’re helping people find themselves skills that will ultimately set them in a place where they can get employed.”
“We first started out with just meeting the needs of our unhoused brothers and sisters,” Givens, the founder and CEO of Care Closet LBC, explained. Those needs included clothing, food, and care packages.
Givens wanted to do more. He desired to empower people living on the streets to take ownership of their surroundings while gaining skills that could shape their future.
“A unique idea came to me of wanting to help clean up our town,” he recalled. With stay-at-home orders limiting day-to-day city operations, Givens and his team began cleaning up areas near unhoused encampments.
“Councilman Dee Andrews at the time, put some funds together,” Givens said. “Then Councilwoman Suely Saro picked up the baton because she said ‘Duke I see what you’re doing. I believe in you.’”
That support helped Givens buy a small truck.
Through repeated outreach and compassion, unhoused residents not
As a Long Beach native, Givens takes pride in the work his team has done to support the community. But he hopes the model can grow far beyond the city.
“It has grown into something beautiful that other cities can emulate,” he says. “Cities can do case studies to see how well the system works. From our city, to our state, to our nation, this works in real time.”
The Care Closet team focuses on ensuring that people living on the streets feel seen and supported. Its mission is to eliminate homelessness by providing essential tools and resources that create lasting change. Through volunteer opportunities, career training, consistent support and a culture of compassion and accountability, Givens believes fundamental change is possible.
“I’ve had individuals who’ve volunteered with me for years, and they totally understand it. So much so that they pass that on to their community,” he said.

Despite the impact of Care Closet’s work, Givens acknowledges that eradicating homelessness entirely is a challenge.
“Some of it is choice,” he explains.
“Some people don’t want to go inside. So, how do you deal with individuals that just don’t want to be housed?”
Givens understands that factors such as mental illness, substance use and trauma often shape a person’s willingness to rejoin traditional society. Still, he emphasizes the need to lead with compassion, noting that heartache and pain often pave the road to life on the streets.
For the nonprofit’s CEO, seeing the organization’s impact — from helping unhoused residents to inspiring others to give back and working alongside the city — makes being out in the community seven days a week rewarding. But the work isn’t without heartbreak.
Givens recalls one man he considered one of his “biggest success stories” relapsing and returning to the streets after securing housing, a car, and a job for the first time in decades.
“It devastated us for a while,” he admits. “But, it also taught us some resiliency and reminded us that we can’t quit the mission.”
That mission has not gone unnoticed. In 2024, Assemblymember Josh Lowenthal named Care Closet the Nonprofit Organization of the Year for the 69th District.
“Care Closet is doing things that transcend the way we should work with the homeless population,” Lowenthal said. “We’re collaborating to solve problems,
not just in the community, but in the region and the state as a whole.”
In October, the Long Beach Branch NAACP presented Givens with the President’s Award. “Duke Givens was selected for the NAACP Long Beach Branch President Award because his work with Care Closet exemplifies the spirit and mission of the NAACP,” Long Beach Branch President Dr. Sharifa Batts explained.
“His work with Care Closet is advancing equity through action, compassion and community empowerment. His dedication to restoring dignity and hope to our unhoused neighbors is not just service — it is leadership in its purest form.”
From the business district to the unhoused encampments on the river bed — Givens and the Care Closet team will continue to embrace the company motto and do the work that impacts the lives of others, “one person at a time, lil’ by lil’.”
