Saddleback Church and the City of Mission Viejo are teaming up to host a Drive-Through Grocery Distribution on Saturday, November 7 at Los Alisos Intermediate School.

The drive-through event is from 9-11 am at 25171 Moor Avenue.

Fresh produce, daily products, bread, protein and canned goods will be available for families and individuals in need. Folks can drive up and pop their trunks or walk through with a wagon, stroller or cart for volunteers and staff members to fill up. Masks should be worn.

In preparation for a future COVID-19 vaccine, the Orange County Health Care Agency is conducting a brief survey to gauge community input. The results of the online survey, which is available in multiple languages, will help the Health Care Agency better plan for distributing the vaccine when it becomes available.

Please take a moment to take the applicable survey below.

Residents can dispose of their unwanted, used or expired prescription medications during the drive-through National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, October 24 at Mission Viejo City Hall. 

With social distancing and COVID-19 precautions in place, the event is from 10 am to 2 pm at 200 Civic Center.  

The City of Mission Viejo is now accepting applications for holiday or seasonal displays at the southwest and northwest corners of the intersection at La Paz Road and Chrisanta Drive.

A longtime ritual in our City, the "Four Corners Holiday Display" embodies the holiday season and spirit of the community. However, with COVID-19 directives and for the public's safety, gatherings around the displays will be prohibited this year.  

In celebration of this 32nd year and new platform, the virtual Walk Against Drugs video event will feature a mosaic of images highlighting past events.

Along with walking down memory lane, the virtual Walk Against Drugs will unite the community in living healthy lifestyles and saying NO to drugs, alcohol, tobacco and vaping.

More than 400 Mission Viejo customers will be without power on October 22 during an outage planned by Southern California Edison (SCE).

According to SCE, the roughly 8-hour outage will take place on October 22 beginning at 9 am near the cross streets of Los Alisos Blvd and Boxwood Lane.

The outage will allow SCE to replace a pad-mounted switch. An SCE representative said the utility expects to have the work completed ahead of schedule.

Deputy Nick Casas and his young daughter Sienna - aka Instagram and TikTok sensations "Nick and Sienna" - will make a special appearance during the first virtual Walk Against Drugs that starts at 8 am on Saturday, October 17.

The talented father-daughter duo later appeared and performed on "The Ellen Show."
