00:03.980 --> 00:07.310
- Yeah, so my unit's attached
to the Napa Valley Food Bank.

00:07.310 --> 00:10.840
And one of the missions there
is to create food packets

00:10.840 --> 00:12.640
and deliver them up into
the mountains and the hills

00:12.640 --> 00:14.060
of the Napa Valley,

00:14.060 --> 00:16.546
to the smaller sites that
actually deliver the food

00:16.546 --> 00:18.760
to the people that need it most.

00:18.760 --> 00:21.370
- [Moriah] Today we're in
Pope Valley distributing boxes

00:21.370 --> 00:25.600
of fresh groceries to the
residents of Pope Valley.

00:25.600 --> 00:28.260
That includes fresh meats, dairy products,

00:28.260 --> 00:30.370
as well as fresh fruits and vegetables.

00:30.370 --> 00:32.818
Produce separately and
the meat separately.

00:32.818 --> 00:33.760
- [Helper] This is the
pulled pork, chicken.

00:33.760 --> 00:36.520
- Today, the National Guard
will be helping us distribute

00:36.520 --> 00:39.490
and take the boxes to
the resident's vehicles,

00:39.490 --> 00:40.690
so they don't have to get out

00:40.690 --> 00:42.750
to keep with the social distancing

00:42.750 --> 00:45.430
and the safety of everybody involved.

00:45.430 --> 00:47.250
They also helped us prepare these boxes,

00:47.250 --> 00:49.900
so they filled them with all the groceries

00:49.900 --> 00:51.300
that we're giving out today.

00:53.280 --> 00:55.240
- Well the mission, first of all,

00:55.240 --> 00:56.810
we still need to be able to take care

00:56.810 --> 00:59.810
of those individuals
that are still in need.

00:59.810 --> 01:03.223
And with the shortage
of volunteers, lately,

01:05.345 --> 01:06.960
people still need groceries,

01:06.960 --> 01:10.270
they still need to be able
to feed their families.

01:10.270 --> 01:12.960
And so, I think they put us in a place

01:12.960 --> 01:15.370
that we are more valued,

01:15.370 --> 01:18.210
we're very efficient in
getting the tasks done,

01:18.210 --> 01:20.720
and getting the food out there
to the people that need it.

01:20.720 --> 01:24.230
And we probably will
see more need out there.

01:24.230 --> 01:28.673
And so, we're ready to take on
any task that is given to us.

01:34.640 --> 01:37.530
- So the Napa Valley area is
a huge tourist destination,

01:37.530 --> 01:40.160
not just for California, but
for the whole United States.

01:40.160 --> 01:42.850
And with this shelter in
place and no one traveling,

01:42.850 --> 01:44.110
just a couple of industries
that are hit huge

01:44.110 --> 01:47.260
are the hospitality industry
and the agriculture industry,

01:47.260 --> 01:48.550
here in this area.

01:48.550 --> 01:49.690
All these people are out of work,

01:49.690 --> 01:51.900
which means they're gonna need food.

01:51.900 --> 01:52.850
You can look at a big city

01:52.850 --> 01:55.250
and see they have huge food
network resources there.

01:55.250 --> 01:56.850
But up here, in the more secluded area,

01:56.850 --> 01:58.360
they don't have as much.

01:58.360 --> 02:00.000
So with the volunteer force going down,

02:00.000 --> 02:00.970
and the need going up,

02:00.970 --> 02:01.980
we're here to make sure the food

02:01.980 --> 02:03.550
makes it from the bigger areas

02:03.550 --> 02:05.600
to the areas that appear to need it most.

02:06.520 --> 02:07.610
- They've been very helpful.

02:07.610 --> 02:09.740
We've had them preparing multiple boxes

02:09.740 --> 02:13.590
and sorting groceries for multiple areas.

02:13.590 --> 02:16.150
We have seven different
pantry sites in Napa County,

02:16.150 --> 02:19.600
so from Calistoga to
American Canyon and across.

02:19.600 --> 02:22.510
So, we distribute every single day

02:22.510 --> 02:24.280
and they've been helping a lot with that.

02:24.280 --> 02:27.260
As well as, scrutinizing
pans and vegetables

02:27.260 --> 02:29.170
at the warehouse itself.

02:29.170 --> 02:30.833
They've been extremely helpful.
