Military RESOURCES

A Special welcome to all military families.  We are pleased to have you as part of our community.  Whether you are a service member, a family member moving to Fountain Valley, or a resident veteran who has served our country, we thank you for your service.  Frequent moves, deployments, and transitions can make it hard for military families to establish strong, trusted networks.  The Fountain Valley Chamber of Commerce wishes to make this move easier for you.  
​We have provided some useful information below.
