Supervisor Kathryn Barger will join local leaders and federal officials Wednesday to celebrate the grand opening of a new Village Post Office at Webster’s Pharmacy in Altadena, marking a new step in restoring essential services to the community.
The event, scheduled for 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on July 16, will unveil a new postal hub created in partnership with the Altadena Recovery and Rebuild Corporation (ARRC) and the United States Postal Service.
The Village Post Office will offer mail and package drop-off services and sell forever stamps.
The previous post office was destroyed in January in the Eaton Fire which decimated Altadena and killed 18 people. Returning postal service to the area is a major milestone in the effort to rebuild the community.
“This new site will serve as a vital hub for the community,” officials said, highlighting its role in meeting ongoing service needs in the region.
In addition to Supervisor Barger, speakers at the event will include Cipriano Corona, District Manager for the U.S. Postal Service; Manny Abascal, Board Member of the ARRC; and Meredith Miller of Webster’s Community Pharmacy.
The new facility aims to improve access to key services for Altadena residents following years of disruptions and recovery efforts.
