Helping Make Masks: Newtown Hero

NEWTOWN, CT — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Marybeth D'Amico who nominated her child Clara D'Amico of Newtown.

Name: Clara D'Amico
Hometown: Newtown
If other, job: Started a baking business to help Sewing for Frontline; a Covid sewing
initiative during Covid this Spring and Summer
Reason for recognition:

One thing to know: She researched, baked and connected with neighbors throughout the community. She loved delivering the horse and dog treats and seeing the photos and videos of the animals enjoying the treats.

Thank you for all you do, Clara!
