So many shipping containers there, some are bound to have canned food. Offshore Oil refineries are nearby too.
Also Long Beach airport has a Heliport with Helicopter fuel and parts.
Highway 710 is reasonably clear of cars since they drove the Hummer along there in episode 1. Also along the way they could pop into the reserve base in Bell and collect whats left over (unless the Mallers have been there already).
So hopefully they have been spending the last 5 months looking for supplies (food, fuel, weapons and ammo). Clearing a path on the way to Long Beach. Sending out recon teams, watching out for any squeeze spots.
173 miles just for food? Anything else would be pointless, because we know the Armoury was pretty much picked clean. Why LA? Why Long Beach? Surely different areas would have better chances for food and survivors and would atleast have a chance of being less infected than we know LA is.
