This amazing group of approximately 30 individuals have come mostly from central Indiana. They have been here Monday through Friday doing much of the heavy lifting to allow us to provide incredible amounts of food to thousands of families each week. One only has to observe for about 30 minutes to be thoroughly impressed with the commitment and execution of assignments by these dedicated folks. Their focus and efficiency, literally, gets things done! \u00a0We have had relatively new soldiers to seasoned veterans with considerable rank in the mix. We have also had multiple visits from several levels of the state command to discuss and observe the soldiers in action. It has been my honor to have had the opportunity to spend some time with them, learn something about them in their civilian life and their plans to continue their military career.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, this deployment is ending at the end of September.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\">[vc_single_image image=&#8221;14941&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>When the National Guard arrived the first week in April, we were in very sad circumstances with our operations, let alone try to meet the increased need. Our staff in the building was down to almost half as several were working from home or were quarantined. We had 2 warehouse workers and 1 truck driver that were still able to come to work. Our office staff was very thin as well. Those who were here spent partial or full days packing food in the warehouse. Saturdays became mandatory for a while and although Sundays were optional, many were here as well.<\/p>\n<p>At our lowest, we had 10 people out of the 22 we had before March, not including a full complement of daily volunteers. We had to eliminate volunteers in the building, so we were on our own to make it happen. When 30 soldiers arrived, who were here to focus on the labor of what it takes to get this work done, WOW! Our plans and results were immediately impacted.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Beginning in April, our food distribution jumped from 162,000 meals per week to 400,000 meals per week. We have maintained that level of food assistance in our 8 counties for the last 6 months. Going forward, we need to now fully engage all our communities to locate volunteers, both groups and individuals, who will once again come along side us to allow this effort to continue.

Safety protocols have been put into place that will allow for a safe environment. We need to secure volunteers to be able to continue our present level of food assistance. Since April, the need has not dropped, but has increased! In our Tailgate Distributions alone, we are reaching over 24,000 families every month. With your help, thousands of families will feel the impact of a caring community.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:tadv\/classic-paragraph --><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\">[vc_single_image image=&#8221;10195&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We need volunteers!
