Mission Viejo is a perfectly sized town located in the southern portion of Orange County, halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Mission Viejo was one of the first master-planned cities which proved to be successful and has been recognized as one of the best places to live in California. Beautiful, lush trees line the neighborhoods and Mission Viejo Lake is placed front and center of town giving Mission Viejo a very natural look and feel when you commute through town. If you are looking to spend an afternoon around Mission Viejo, Lake Mission Viejo is a must. After spending the sunny afternoon on the water, you can follow up with a lakeside evening concert and a thirst-quenching beverage. If golfing is up your alley, you can conveniently schedule a tee time at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club. After an afternoon on the greens, you can follow up with a celebratory beverage or appetizer at their course-side bar and grill, O’Neill’s. Oso Creek Trail is another great option for an afternoon outing in the sun. With plenty of shade, well-maintained large grass areas, and smaller hills, this is a perfect option for the kids and dogs in tow.
We are just about halfway through Summer in Mission Viejo. There are still several opportunities to get involved with the community and check out what Mission Viejo has to offer. There are several activities and happenings, so enjoy the complete guide below to guarantee a fun-filled month of August!
Mission Viejo Kia Hosts Christmas in July
We are moving into the final week of our annual charity event, Christmas in July.
Patterson Autos is partnering with Orange County Rescue Mission for the annual Christmas In July! Donations for this Orange County non-profit organization tend to dip in the summer months, so Patterson Autos goes out of its way each year to commit an entire month of fundraising in hopes of restocking the OCRM shelves. Every year proves to be extremely successful where thousands of pounds of items are donated, and thousands of dollars are raised. Thanks to our extremely generous community!
Orange County Rescue Mission offers long-term transitional housing in Orange County. There are several families throughout OC who depend on Orange County Rescue Mission, therefore they’ve committed to providing 400 boxes of food and hygiene products every month with the mission to minister the love of Jesus Christ to the Least, the Last, and the Lost of Orange County. They can accomplish this through the provision of assistance in the areas of guidance, counseling, education, job training, shelter, food, clothing, health care, and independent living communities.
Throughout the entire month of July, Patterson Autos will be collecting items in addition to donating $2 per test drive at any of the Patterson Autos locations. They will use these raised funds to purchase more urgently needed items to donate.
Stop by Tustin Mazda, Huntington Beach Mazda, Tustin Hyundai, or Mission Viejo Kiaa for a donation drop-off or to test drive a vehicle. We look forward to bringing the Orange County community together and assisting Orange County Rescue Mission to restock the shelves!
Mental Health Awareness Month
Can a car dealership and its customers make a difference in the community? Absolutely!
