Today is Red Cross Giving Day, when thousands of people come together to help those affected by disasters.

The agency has been hard at work this spring across California, including assisting with recovery from the wildfires in Southern California.

For more on Giving Day and how the Red Cross helps with disaster response and recovery, KCBS Radio anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart and KCBS Political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with Natalie Manier, Regional Mass Care Manager with the American Red Cross Northern California Coastal Region.
