'Loves To Give Back': Johnston Local Hero

JOHNSTON, RI — When times are tough, heroes emerge. But rarely do they get the spotlight they deserve. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've begun 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 came from Tammy Martin, a former client and now business partner of Villella's, who nominated Villella for his willingness to work hard through the pandemic for the safety of others, and his willingness to provide free services for those with serious health issues.

"Chad is a generous person who has built his business on quality and loves to give back to the community," Martin said.

Thank you for all you do, Chad!
