July 2020 USDA Food Distribution

USDA Distribution Specialist, Ronald Buckman seen working with tribal staff, "at a safe and prescribed distance".

As seen here sometimes even the exchanging of even the smallest items can be a juggling act.

Specialist Ronald Buckman not only practices what he preaches but even wears his motto on his shirt and takes great caution to ensure that all of his distributions practice the utmost safety.

For the most part Specialist in training, "Nos" was loading conveyor, but personally brought out the last few items that were needed to finish final distribution as Specialist Ronald Buckman prepared documents regarding distributions.

The California Valley Miwok Tribe held the July USDA Food Distribution on Monday, July 20th, 2020. With all distributions, this was a severely needed and much appreciated event.
The dreaded second wave of the Covid 19 virus is upon us and the many citizens and participants who receive this service are as grateful for the lack of need to expose themselves by going to the store more often, as they are for the actual food stocks they receive within their distributions.

So, in essence, this program is helping to keep all that are involved safer during these very uncertain times.

This distribution also saw the newest member of the Tule River Food Distribution Departments team helping with distributions as USDA Food Distribution Specialist Ronald Buckman was assisted by specialist, “Naz”.

“Naz” will be a permanent fixture in distributions as he trains to fully incorporate not only the procedures, but the training to be a secondary delivery driver.

We look forward to the continuing expansion of this program and the service that it provides to the Native American Community

At this time, we would like to thank the entire Tule River Food Distribution Department, Specialist Ronald Buckman and newest Specialist and driver in training, “Naz”.
