Friend,

 

Yesterday, we told you about Governor Holcomb’s latest actions to limit the spread of the coronavirus and save Hoosier lives.

He had a simple message in these complicated times – “Hunker down, Hoosiers.”

And today he told us stories about the Hoosier character and spirit:

• It’s the Hoosier who anonymously donated 150 face masks to the Indiana State Department of Health. They said, “‘I don't want anything. I don't want recognition. I don't want to be paid. I want to help.”
  
• It’s the uniformed police officers in Southport making runs for the elderly, making sure they get food and medicine.
  
• It’s a refurbished school bus in Plainfield delivering meals.
  
• It’s the casino in Hammond that quickly donated all of its perishable food to community programs.
  
• It’s a community partnership in New Albany that’s helping restaurant workers who are temporarily out of work.
  

• And it’s every ordinary Hoosier who is stepping up, staying home, and saving lives.

 

These stories are the whole purpose of “Hunker down, Hoosiers.” It’s about fighting back.

 

We’re in this fight together. And together, we’ll win this war against COVID-19.

 

“We're acting now. Fighting back. That’s the whole purpose of hunker down Hoosiers. It's to make sure we get through this storm as fast as humanly possible.” – Gov. Holcomb

Thanks,

-Your Holcomb Crew
