Joni Ernst: Amid COVID-19, all Iowans have a role to play to help seniors
We’re living in challenging times. But it’s in these trying days that we’ve seen the resilient spirit that makes our state and our people so great. Some of my favorite stories of Iowans helping Iowans have been the heartwarming acts of kindness folks have shown for our seniors and those most at-risk during this pandemic. I think about the folks at the Cherokee Hy-Vee floral shop, who, knowing the care facilities in the area had closed to visitors, decided to bring a little cheer to the residents.
