Cal Guard still rolls out food bank missions

California National Guard Primary

U.S. Army Sgt. Joseph Miles of the California Army National Guard’s 1113th Transportation Company, 749th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 224th Sustainment Brigade, sorts perishable and non-perishable food at an Amador County supermarket during an early-January food run for the Interfaith Food Bank in Jackson, California. Cal Guardsmen still operate at food banks throughout the state — just not as much as before — since being state-activated March 2020 for the coronavirus pandemic. Miles makes the run on his own, sometimes picking up more than 2,000 pounds of food on a daily basis. In early January, the Cal Guard was closing in on 120 millions meals packed and distributed to communities in a 10-month span. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Eddie Siguenza)
