California Volunteers says Service Corps deployed to Pasadena and UCLA relief sites

A California Volunteers representative said the organization has deployed the California Service Corps to disaster relief sites in Pasadena and at UCLA to support distribution centers, food banks and partner organizations.

The representative said volunteer efforts are supplying meals, sorting donated goods and staffing distribution centers for people who lost property in recent disasters. “And then we’re also deploying the California Service Corps here at the Pasadena and UCLA disaster resource center, at the food banks, at our organizations like YMCA and others who have stepped up in such a significant way,” the California Volunteers representative said.

The representative described a large-scale, locally driven volunteer response across Los Angeles, saying neighbors and organized volunteers have been helping at distribution centers and food banks and ensuring donated items reach people affected by the disasters. The comment followed a question from a resident who pointed to the organization’s jacket and asked how coordination was being handled.

No formal actions or votes on volunteer programs were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt. The representative’s remarks focused on operational deployment and community participation; specific counts of volunteers, dollar amounts for support, or formal agreements with partner organizations were not specified in the transcript.
