The fire on Main Street this week has had a significant impact on several local businesses, their owners, and their employees. As members of the Santa Clarita business community, we want to express our support for those facing the difficult days and weeks ahead.

Our local businesses are an important part of what makes Santa Clarita a strong and connected community. When one of our businesses is impacted, it affects all of us. This is an opportunity for our business community and residents to come together and help those who have invested so much in serving our city.

If you would like to provide financial assistance to the businesses impacted by the fire, please visit OldTownNewhall.com to contribute.

We stand with our Main Street businesses and look forward to seeing them recover, rebuild, and once again open their doors.
