Stoughton Heroes: Help Patch Recognize Those Making A Difference

STOUGHTON, MA — The adage 'not all heroes wear capes' is more apparent now than ever. Countless people are putting themselves in danger by simply showing up to work in essential roles for our communities, risking possible infection from the new coronavirus.

Doctors, nurses, police and grocery store workers alike are just some of the professions with a high potential for exposure to the virus. Patch wants to recognize as many of these heroes as possible. Stoughton residents have made several nominations:

Stoughton Hero: Gaby Zola Raises Money To Feed First Responders

Gaby Zola, 16, raised more than $3,000 to feed first responders and essential workers during the new coronavirus crisis.

Stoughton Hero: Woman Donates To Food Pantries Every Week

Peg Carbone spends her free time volunteering by picking up food for the Stoughton food pantries every Thursday.

We know you've encountered or seen them around town, and we want to help recognize as many of these heroes as possible. If the heroism happened a while ago, at the height of the outbreak, that's okay.

Let us know about those making a difference in this difficult time by filling out the form below and we'd be happy to share their impact with the rest of the community.
