INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Live-entertainment venues are waiting for the chance to get business back up to full speed and thanks to the Indiana Independent Venue Alliance several of them have banded together to have a chance of surviving the COVID-19 pandemic. In the meantime, they’re helping people with an even greater need: homeless neighbors at the Horizon House. The alliance called the event Sock On. During a three-week donation drive, the venues collected more than 500 pairs of socks for people the nonprofit serves.
“We love all of our donations but we know that this came from the heart,” said Teresa Wessel, Horizon House executive director.
