Aliso Viejo Lends a Hand to Families in Need
The city is taking part in a food drive to help area families.
Aliso Viejo is looking to help families struggling this holiday season by collecting canned and non-perishable foods as part of a food drive.
Residents can do so by dropping off some canned or non-perishable food items at Aliso Viejo City Hall, which is a drop-point for South County Outreach, officials wrote in a news release. Below is the rest of the announcement.
A food barrel is conveniently located near the entrance to City Hall at 12 Journey.
