EXCERPT:

ANDRES: "Everybody has so many fascinating stories. We are listening about chefs, that they lost their restaurant and they’re here cooking. Firefighters that they lost their homes and they are here today volunteering, feeding others. Everybody has a story. Every man and woman here, they are heroes in their own way because all — they all go away from their comfort zone to do something for their fellow citizens. So the stories are endless. What I see here in Chico, here that the spirit of America shines. You may be a Republican, you may be Democrat, but at the end we are all Americans and what you see in a moment like this is how we all come together to take care of each other."
