STATEWIDE — This weekend the Indiana National Guard is helping foodbanks prepare boxes for drive-thru pickups.
“We stand ready to support our community in every way necessary during emergency responses like this,” said Brig. Gen. Dale Lyles, referring to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Friday, Guardsmen helped distribute boxes of food to over 300 households to help get food delivered to communities that need it.
Schools are also stepping up to help during the pandemic. Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation Health Services said they have donated 1,800 pairs of surgical gloves, and the Mt. Vernon High School Science Department donated 24 protective goggles to Hancock Health.
