Community Helping Community — That's Garden Grove! ❤️🇺🇸
Yesterday, thanks to the training volunteers received at a recent GKN Claims Assistance event at the CMC in Garden Grove, coordinated by Supervisor Janet Nguyen, a group of Concerned Volunteers came together once again to help residents navigate the claims process.
Spearheaded by longtime Garden Grove advocate Tony Flores, another successful GKN Claims Assistance event was held on Valley View Street.
Many of those who came for assistance were seniors living in a nearby senior community. They were grateful to have someone patiently sit with them, answer their questions, and help submit their claims.
A special thank you to Tony for securing two neighboring businesses, Taqueria DeAnda Grill and West Grove Pizza Company, owned by Joe. Both generously opened their doors and provided space for volunteers to assist our residents.
Think about it. On a beautiful Sunday, these volunteers gave four hours of their time simply because they care about their neighbors. That's the heart of Garden Grove.
Thank you to Tony Flores, Mayor Stephanie Klopfenstein, Peyton from Supervisor Janet Nguyen's office, Lynn Groff, Maureen Blackmun, Roger Flanders, and, of course, the wonderful seniors who patiently worked through the process with us.
This is what happens when neighbors, local businesses, community advocates, and elected leaders come together with one purpose: helping people.
No fanfare. Just good people doing good things for their community.
Teamwork makes the dream work! ❤️
