00:00.270 --> 00:02.860
- [Adam] We came into the Food
Bank county of Santa Barbara,

00:02.860 --> 00:05.450
to help out and assist anyway we can.

00:05.450 --> 00:08.450
The people that work
here, we're here for them.

00:08.450 --> 00:10.160
We're help to help them,
we're here to support them.

00:10.160 --> 00:12.590
They've actually shown us very well,

00:12.590 --> 00:14.370
and very quickly how to do things.

00:14.370 --> 00:15.970
And we've jumped right in to help them.

00:15.970 --> 00:18.457
Our job here is to help set up

00:18.457 --> 00:23.457
and organize the pallets,
and food, dry goods, produce.

00:23.760 --> 00:25.560
Load them up on the
trucks and send them out

00:25.560 --> 00:27.390
to food distribution centers,

00:27.390 --> 00:30.120
so that they can get out
to the families and people.

00:30.120 --> 00:31.020
Here, what we do is,

00:31.020 --> 00:33.150
after we load up the food on the trucks,

00:33.150 --> 00:34.920
we take them out to different sites.

00:34.920 --> 00:37.025
For example, Senior Assisted Living home,

00:37.025 --> 00:40.430
the Boys & Girls Club
and the Salvation Army.

00:40.430 --> 00:43.628
So we will take the several
pallets of food there,

00:43.628 --> 00:45.250
and load them off of the truck

00:45.250 --> 00:49.300
and then we volunteer to assist
to separate out the food.

00:49.300 --> 00:51.230
So that they can give them to the family.

00:51.230 --> 00:54.710
Just needed 200 pound of
cabbage and we're set on this.

00:54.710 --> 00:57.200
- [Adam] The California
National Guard has teams,

00:57.200 --> 01:00.260
so that we can get out here
and start working right away.

01:00.260 --> 01:03.360
We're well trained to be very effective

01:03.360 --> 01:05.130
and efficient very quickly.

01:05.130 --> 01:08.070
And that means we can go into
any environment, any place,

01:08.070 --> 01:10.240
and right away start
working together well.

01:10.240 --> 01:11.840
We know each other, that helps.

01:11.840 --> 01:13.900
As a team so we can very quickly integrate

01:13.900 --> 01:15.652
into whatever we're doing.

01:15.652 --> 01:17.600
(laughs)

01:17.600 --> 01:19.480
One of the best things
about doing this job is

01:19.480 --> 01:20.800
to help the people.

01:20.800 --> 01:22.810
This is what we look forward
to, is to get out there

01:22.810 --> 01:23.660
and help everyone.

01:23.660 --> 01:26.080
So we actually see that they need us

01:26.080 --> 01:27.210
and we're there for them.

01:27.210 --> 01:30.310
Every member of my team I
know feels the same way.

01:30.310 --> 01:31.470
We're very happy to help.

01:31.470 --> 01:33.200
We like helping, and we like working.

01:33.200 --> 01:35.160
And we're really happy to get back

01:35.160 --> 01:36.860
to the State of California.

01:36.860 --> 01:39.380
So Santa Barbara is not
that far from there,

01:39.380 --> 01:40.720
from where we come from.

01:40.720 --> 01:42.620
And it's a local community to us.

01:42.620 --> 01:44.350
It's part of our family.

01:44.350 --> 01:46.850
And we're super happy that
we can do it right here,

01:46.850 --> 01:47.950
and help out directly.
