VACCINE VOLUNTEER REQUEST

Saint Joseph Health System is blessed to have an outpouring of support from volunteers in our Vaccination Clinics. Volunteers helped with more than 1,100 hours of non-clinical work throughout January. This increase in personnel helps us in our efforts to vaccinate as many of our residents as quickly and safely as possible. The greatest need now is skilled, licensed clinical volunteers.
 
If you are a clinically licensed professional interested in volunteering at our Vaccination Clinics, we need you! We are specifically looking for vaccinator roles to be filled at our Marshall County vaccine clinic as soon as possible. If you are licensed to administer the vaccine and have a current BLS, please sign up by going to this link: http://bit.ly/39AEUCf
 
Visit ourshot.in.gov/ (https://www.coronavirus.in.gov/vaccine/) for information on COVID-19 vaccine distribution across the state and locally.

Take charge against covid 

Marshall County Crossroads is working with our dedicated caregivers in the medical field, our county leaders, and local businesses to encourage you to do everything you can to TAKE CHARGE against COVID-19. Our hospitals and front-line workers are in critical need of our compassion and support.

In a season where so many are feeling a loss of security, our mission is to provide resources to our community that gives you some control back.

Our community is in need of immediate action. Approximately 20% of positive COVID cases in Marshall County need hospital care. Our local hospitals, medical supplies, doctors, and nurses are stretched thin. We are at the breaking point. It's time to care for our caregivers!

Marshall County Crossroads is All In! Visit the Take Charge Against COVID action page to learn more and see how YOU can take charge.

Funds for businesses needing assistance due to covid-19

Marshall County Economic Development Corporation (MCEDC) is the administrator of a grant that will make funds available for businesses that are struggling because of the pandemic. Businesses that need assistance are encouraged to contact MCEDC to apply for up to $7,500 to be used for employee salaries, operational expenses, working capital, continue business operations, and support remote work.

Initially, the funds will be issued as a micro-loan. If the business maintains the same number of employees after two years, the loan will be forgiven as a grant. 

Applications are available online at Request for Funds. Applications and additional information are also available by contacting Greg Hildebrand, MCEDC Economic Development Project Manager, at (574) 935-8499, or by email at greg@marshallcountyedc.org.
