April 13, 2020 - Ellettsville, Indiana USA: Members of the Indiana National Guard wear balaclava's while helping support volunteer workers distributing food at Pantry 279 to help those experiencing food insecurity during the COVID-19/Coronavirus stay-at-home order in Indiana during the pandemic. Hoosiers have been ordered to only travel for essential needs.
Members of the Indiana National Guard, who have been activated during thew COVID-19/Coronavirus emergency helped volunteers at Pantry 279 Monday.
Four members of the Indiana National Guard, from various units, wore balaclavas, and helped volunteers. Cindy Chavez, of Pantry 279, said volunteers at the food pantry are exhausted, but when she was asked for help, she only wanted help from the National Guard. The food pantry, which normally helps people in need of food assistance, has been swamped during the past few weeks, and last week Chavez posted photos of empty shelves.
So, Monday, the Indiana National Guard scrambled, and answered the call for assistance. And several guard members worked into the afternoon, after unloading the trucks, and helping organize food, to load boxes into cars.
