'COVID made her a local resource,': Holliston-Hopkinton Hero

HOLLISTON-HOPKINTON, MA — 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 Darlene Hayes who nominated Binki aka Louisa DeCollibus. Hayes and DeCollibus are friends and Hayes said even before the pandemic, DeCollibus always had a huge heart.

"From making soup for someone ill, to supporting local artists in her home," DeCollibus is always ready to help, Hayes said, "But COVID made her a local resource, making custom masks free to first responders and the community."

Thank you for all you do, Louisa DeCollibus.
