The Well Coronavirus COVID-19 Updated Response as of March 26th:

Governor Kim Reynolds issued a State of Public Health Disaster Emergency on Tuesday morning March 17 in regards to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Thursday, March 26th, Governor Reynolds recommended retail close down through April 7th. In response, the Well will follow the State of Public Health Disaster Emergency guidelines as they pertain to Well programs and retail operations:

The following Well programs will be cancelled through April 7th.
-Conquer Series for Men
-Celebrate Recovery
-The Well Eatery
-Men’s Breakfast
-Grief Support Groups
-Women’s IF:Table
-The Well Thrift Stores will be closed through April 7th.

With that said, please know that our Pella and Knoxville Resource Centers are still holding appointments. Well Works continues to produce product for local manufacturers. The Well has implemented enhanced sanitation practices at our sites, and we will continue to keep those practices in place moving forward. The Well will also continue to follow all Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) recommendations as they pertain to the Well’s operations. Updates on Well Operations will continue to be provided as the situation around COVID-19 changes.

Another practical way we can support our communities is to offer up prayer as the situation unfolds. We pray for the leaders in our communities, county, state, and nation as they process and make decisions around the virus. We pray for discernment in our own lives in how we process the situation. We pray for mercy for those affected. And, we offer praise to a Father who is so much bigger than the circumstances of our days. We’re so thankful for all you do to support the Well.

Blessings,
Jayson
