00:07.090 --> 00:10.140
since our original call up Thio support

00:10.800 --> 00:13.570
Peace . Admission . Um , we've been

00:13.880 --> 00:16.710
assisting the various food banks ,

00:17.290 --> 00:20.470
Indio , Imperial County . It says a

00:20.480 --> 00:22.369
sigh of relief for them that I've

00:22.369 --> 00:25.470
noticed . I wanted to be here . One is

00:25.570 --> 00:28.080
help them and support him , especially

00:28.090 --> 00:30.257
some of these smaller communities that

00:30.257 --> 00:32.423
may not get some of that big cities in

00:32.423 --> 00:34.646
rural and isolated areas like ours were

00:34.646 --> 00:36.812
the first to get hit in the last two .

00:36.812 --> 00:38.979
Recover . So long term . This is going

00:38.979 --> 00:40.979
to hurt us for a very , very , very

00:40.979 --> 00:43.770
long time . So , uh , we have a 15

00:43.770 --> 00:45.992
member staff here anywhere . The engine

00:45.992 --> 00:47.960
that could we do amazing things ,

00:47.960 --> 00:50.160
getting food to 20,000 people a month

00:50.160 --> 00:53.870
with 15 staff . And part of that that

00:53.870 --> 00:55.850
magic is having a really great

00:55.860 --> 00:58.027
volunteers . As you can imagine , that

00:58.027 --> 01:00.193
volunteer corps has evaporated . A lot

01:00.193 --> 01:01.971
of them are seniors . Many your

01:01.971 --> 01:04.193
students . We don't want to put them at

01:04.193 --> 01:06.780
risk , but it leaves very small , you

01:06.780 --> 01:09.660
know , still skeleton staff to do way

01:09.660 --> 01:11.716
more than we are capable of doing on

01:11.716 --> 01:14.620
our own . So we are so grateful that

01:14.630 --> 01:16.741
the National Guard answered that call

01:16.741 --> 01:19.340

01:26.370 --> 01:28.930
I could tell that they feel they feel

01:29.810 --> 01:31.699
