California National Guard troops assisted Second Harvest of Silicon Valley during the early COVID-19 months by packing, loading and distributing meals when volunteers were under stay-at-home orders. Governor Gavin Newsom offered Guard support to food banks facing potential federal food assistance payment delays caused by a federal shutdown. Increased Guard involvement in recent federal immigration and crime operations creates concern that uniformed troops at distribution sites could frighten some low-income populations. Some food banks report no current need for Guard help at distribution sites and suggest troops could assist in warehouses instead.
