Hoosier Brewing Company in the heart of Old Town Greenwood has donated 449 gallons of hand sanitizer to first responders in less than a month. Founder and co-owner Brian Nentrup stood outside the small-batch distillery at a small table in the parking lot with 8-ounce bottles of hand sanitizers; a visible result of the current Coronavirus-19 crisis.

The transition to distilling hand sanitizer has resulted in donations to bolster personal safety at various law enforcement agencies and medical facilities throughout Central Indiana including, Greenwood police and fire departments, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Franciscan Health, Ascension/St. Vincent, Wheeler Mission, Indianapolis Fraternal Order of Police, Valle Vista Health, and Johnson County Sheriff’s Department.

Small bottles of hand sanitizer have been available on site at no cost to anyone who stops by the brewery, donations accepted. Patrons who have purchased the 8-ounce bottles may stop by for a free refill. Monday, Nentrup announced that Hoosier Brewing will continue to donate to various agencies but began selling bulk gallons of sanitizer to the public and all businesses.

Hoosier Brewing Company is at the same site as a taproom at the former location of the Blind Pig near the corner of Main Street and Madison Avenue. Operations at the Tap & Axe tap room are suspended under restrictions on non-essential businesses due to state mandates. The historic building was attractive to Nentrup and his partners because it will serve as a destination to attract city residents and out-of-area visitors to a showpiece for craft beverages in Old Town Greenwood.

​Hoosier Brewery is close to established Old Town Greenwood businesses, including Revery, Jockamo’s, Planetary and Vino Villa. Price of each gallon is $49 and can be reserved for drive-through pickup at: https://servehoosiers. checkfront.com/reserve/ Info: http://www.serveHOOSIERS.com

Several members of the Mary Bryan Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) are making facemasks daily for various Southside facilities and businesses. Chapter members Carolyn Ferraro, JoAn Nichols, Candy Close, Jill Werner, Cathy Pollachek, Laura Manning and Molly Chizum began sewing this month with Vicki Kurtz picking up and delivering needed supplies to sew the masks.

As of April 15, nearly 900 masks have been sewn and donated by the chapter to the community as part of the national DAR initiative, Service to America from Home. Individual donations of materials provided DAR members with needed sewing items, particularly with the recent state-mandated closures of fabric stores that resulted in online orders being placed.

Facilities that requested facemasks included Community Hospital South, Franciscan Health Network, Dialysis Center of Indianapolis and American Senior Communities. The chapter also provided masks to Gray Goat Bicycle Company employees at all four locations, a veterinary clinic and the Main Street Post Office in Greenwood.
