Ways You Can Help

The Malibu community has a proud history of stepping up during difficult times to help those most in need. Below are opportunities available for the community to help others during the COVID-19 crisis.

All healthy Californians are asked to step up and help make a difference safely in their community, by visiting the new website, signing up, and selecting from a list of volunteer interests. The State is working with a coalition of local agencies and non-profit organizations to connect volunteers with local opportunities, such as working at food banks, delivering meals, calling seniors, or acting as a 211 operator.
