This effort reflects the City’s commitment to building an inclusive, resilient, and supportive community where all residents—regardless of immigration status or economic background—can access the resources they need. Through partnerships with trusted local organizations, San Fernando Together connects individuals and families with immediate relief such as food distributions and one-time financial assistance, as well as referrals to a wide range of community services. These efforts aim to address urgent needs while also promoting long-term well-being, stability, and opportunity for all who call San Fernando home.
