Look For The Helpers: Local Efforts To Provide Relief

March 31, 2020

Hoosiers have faced a lot of change in the last few weeks as they navigate the coronavirus pandemic and its impact. But we didn’t have to look far to find people who have stepped up to provide relief to their communities – from the organization of a local food train delivering meals to students to the creation of a benefit beer named “Social Distance.”

Today we highlight some of those efforts, and talk to the people behind them.
