Ohio National Guard Deployed to Food Banks as Food Insecurity Nearly Doubles | Amanpour and Company

During this year of anti-racist uprisings, many Americans have come to associate the National Guard with civil law -- and sometimes with crushing peaceful protests. It might come as a surprise to learn that the Guard also fulfills important humanitarian duties. In fact, across all 50 states, these troops are supporting COVID-19 testing sites and food banks. Major General John C. Harris, Jr. is the commander of the Ohio National Guard, where food insecurity has nearly doubled since the start of the coronavirus outbreak. He sits down to speak with Hari Sreenivasan at the heart of the state’s largest operation, the Mid-Ohio Food Collective.

Originally aired on October 16, 2020.
