Help those less fortunate this holiday season with La Mirada’s annual Holiday Toy and Food Drive.  Now through December 11, donations of new, unwrapped toys, and nonperishable food items will be accepted at the following City facilities: Activity Center, City Hall, Community Sheriff’s Station, Gymnasium, La Mirada Library, Splash!, and the Resource Center. This wonderful program will help provide holiday gifts and meals for La Mirada families in need during the holiday season.

The La Mirada Activity Center will be hosting free dental screenings on Wednesday, November 22 from 10 to 11 a.m.  No insurance is necessary.  New Age Dental will be providing a dentist to conduct screenings to seniors age 55 and above. The dentist will be performing checkups only.  If there is something of concern during a checkup, community members will be advised to go to their regular dental care facility for treatment.
