Thank you for your comment…
Thank you for your comment on the City’s News page and desire to donate to the victims of the LA wildfires. This past weekend, the Mission Viejo community wonderfully donated more than three truck-loads of bottled water, non-perishable food, clothing, hygiene products, pet supplies, first aid kits and more at the Mission Viejo Farmers Market on Saturday. This follows donations of several hundred cases and gallons of bottled water made to the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center last week to benefit the Pasadena Humane Society and displaced animals in the fires. The City is extremely grateful to the community for its generosity and kindness during this difficult time.
With an incredible amount of donations, we are not able to accept any further items at this time.
If you would wish to make a monetary donation, a list with links of organizations that are collecting is available through the following link:
