Organizers at the Koreatown Center for Community Well-being in Los Angeles urged volunteers to help sort clothing and hygiene supplies for people affected by regional wildfires, saying the center was receiving a steady stream of donations and needed hands-on help to distribute them.

Ray, site lead at the Koreatown Center for Community Well-being operated by the YMCA of Los Angeles, said, “We need a lot of volunteer support and organizing and sorting.” Ray said the center planned to offload clothing and essential hygiene supplies to local agencies that are assisting people impacted by the wildfires and that more items would arrive throughout the day.

The event host said, “Ray and her team are doing incredible work. They need your help. The community needs your help,” and directed people to ymcla.org to donate or sign up to volunteer. Ray also encouraged people to check the center’s Instagram for a list of specific items needed; the Instagram handle in the recording was not clear.

The request focused on short-term, hands-on work: receiving, sorting and organizing donated clothing and hygiene kits for partner agencies. Organizers did not provide a detailed volunteer schedule, a count of items on hand, or a list of partner agencies in the remarks on the recording.

Those who want to help were directed to the center’s website as the primary sign-up point; social media was suggested for item-specific updates. No formal funding, policy change, or vote was discussed during the remarks.
