WA National Guard helps Second Harvest give away $1 million in food a week

Second Harvest is working with agencies across the region to serve more people than ever in an effort to make sure no one goes hungry as food insecurity grows.

"We live a block away, right across the street and this has been extremely helpful,” said Tonie Clemons.

Clemons is a mother of two who started receiving help from the food bank for the first time because of financial hardships her family is facing. Her husband is an essential worker, but was out of work because of a possible exposure to the coronavirus.

"He had to take some time to get a negative test. [He] didn't have it so he was able to go back to work,” Clemons said.
