We need to hear from you!!! As we continue to navigate the aftermath of the recent wildfire, we want to assure you that our chamber is committed to providing support to our affected members. We understand that many of you have faced significant challenges, and we are eager to lend a helping hand.

To better understand the needs of our chamber members and the community, we kindly request that you share your experiences and concerns with us.

Your input will be shared with the San Gabriel Valley Association of Chamber Executives (VACE), and your collective voice will help inform our efforts to advocate for the needs of our community.

Please take a moment to fill out this form and let us know what you need.

Additionally, if you know of someone who has been affected by the wildfire and may not have access to the internet, please share their name and contact information with us. We will ensure that they receive direct outreach from our team.

Your input and feedback are invaluable to us, and we appreciate your collaboration in this effort. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

From the Office of Rep. Judy Chu:

If you live or run a business in Los Angeles County that was affected by January's wildfires, you may qualify for a tax extension.

FEDERAL TAXES

The IRS is extending deadlines to file and pay certain taxes. Any tax deadlines between January 7, 2025, and October 15, 2025, are now postponed to October 15, 2025 — giving you more time to get caught up.

CALIFORNIA TAXES

You automatically get 6 extra months to file your tax return — but you still need to file by October 15, 2025, to avoid late filing penalties. An extension to file is not an extension to pay. You still need to pay any taxes you owe by April 15, 2025, to avoid penalties and interest.
