SPOKANE, Wash. National Guard members are set to demobilize from Spokane’s Second Harvest, nearly one year after they were first called to assist with the county’s growing need during the pandemic.
Members of the Washington National Guard were deployed to Second Harvest’s distribution centers in Spokane and Pasco in April of last year. Those members demobilized at the Pasco location in December, but stayed on in Spokane to help pack food boxes, staff mobile markets, and more.
“We simply cannot put into words how important their work has been and how much we appreciate it,” said Jason Clark, President and CEO of Second Harvest.
GRANT CO., Wash. Health officials have reported the first case of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C) in a child in Grant County on Friday.
The child who is under 10 years old spent several days in the Intensive Care Unit, but is now stable and recovering at home, according to the Grant County Health District.
MIS-C can cause inflammation to organs, fever, and severe illness and has been linked to children who have previously tested positive for COVID-19. The syndrome is found in people under 21 and can cause mild symptoms or, in more severe cases, lead to hospitalization and death.
There have been 42 known cases reported throughout Washington in the past year.
