A monthly newsletter produced locally by Bloomington Health Foundation
While we're all impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, our experiences and needs vary greatly. It has been humbling to witness the tremendous efforts of our united community to address a broad scope of issues.

We thank our healthcare providers including IU Health Bloomington, HealthNet Bloomington, Monroe Hospital and others for their dedicated service. We are grateful to our school corporations, Monroe County Community School Corporation and Richland Bean Blossom School Corporation, for delivering meals to our children. We are inspired by the hard work of our local health and social services agencies who continue to serve those most in need. We are indebted to the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce and the Bloomington Economic Development Corporation for helping to guide our local businesses during this difficult time. We are proud of the United Way and the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County, as well as local donors for their generosity. We thank Monroe County Government, City of Bloomington and all other government entities working to help our community.

BHF will continue to work alongside these and other community partners to assist with local COVID-19 relief efforts. If you or someone you know is in urgent need of social services during this difficult time, please visit HelpingBloomingtonMonroe.org , an online resource with over 1,800 free and reduced-cost programs.

While every community has its challenges, ours belong to us. We know them. We see them. We live them. We will continue to stand with you.

Now more than ever, together for a healthier tomorrow.
