It will provide 10 thousand dollars worth of food items and covid-19 crisis items through the state of indiana.

Partnering with save-a-lot in terre haute, lough says this should be enough for all active house members for at least 2 weeks each.

So} "typically when the health emergency was not going on, we would provide a meal here at the clubhouse for them.
