Citizens Honored For Assisting Aliso Viejo's Youngest & Finest

On a terrifying afternoon in Aliso Viejo, Target & Chik Fil A stepped in, aiding young residents & first responders.

ALISO VIEJO, CA — There is a reason that Aliso Viejo remains one of Orange County's finest cities. Remembering those who stepped in and selflessly sacrificed their time, money and talents during a civic disaster is just one of those reasons. Target's Jim Miller, Philip Meyers of Chick Fil A will be honored at Aliso Viejo's city council meeting June 6.

Jim Miller of Target Aliso Viejo will be acknowledged for the store's efforts in the wake of the May 15 explosion at a medical office building on Mareblu, the city said in recent release.

"The store accommodated the children, families and staff evacuated from the nearby preschool as well as law enforcement working around the clock by donating water, snacks and items," they said.
