Guest urges donations and volunteering to support Californians during 'unbelievably difficult time'

Josh, identified only by his first name in a brief interview, urged Californians and others to give money, time and support as the state recovers from what he called an “unbelievably difficult time.”

The exchange focused on concrete ways people can help. "People can give. They can go to californians for all dotca.gov. They can give their time to volunteer, at places like the LA Food Bank or the YMCA or distribution centers," Josh said. "They can give money. They can give thanks to our first responders and all of our volunteers, who have helped in such a way, and they can give love and support."

The interviewer prompted the guest for specific actions, asking, "Just quickly, Josh, before we let you get back to work, what is it that people can do to help?" The guest reiterated multiple avenues for support and emphasized community resilience: "So inspiring, to see how California has come together, here, to to band together, to help each other, support each other. We're strong. We're showing each other the the love and support that we need to get through an unbelievably difficult time, and we know that we can come out of it stronger."

The interview named several destinations for volunteers and donors but did not specify amounts, organizing agencies for local drives, or an exact web address beyond the quoted phrasing "californians for all dotca.gov." No formal organization or government body was named as the sponsor of the appeal during the interview.

Ways cited in the interview: volunteering at local food banks and YMCAs or at distribution centers; making monetary donations; and expressing thanks to first responders and volunteers. The guest framed those actions as means to support recovery and community resilience.

No formal actions, votes, or funding commitments were discussed during the remarks.
