'You Want People Like Her On Your Team': Arvada Hero

ARVADA, CO — 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 who are 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 Eli Feret, who nominated Lisa Smith.

Name: Lisa Smith

State: Colorado

Home town: Arvada

Hero's job: Nonprofit

Relationship to nominee: Partner

Reason for recognition: Lisa worked hard and responded fast when the city shut down. She sourced all required materials to make sanitizer and then gave thousands of bottles and over 134 gallons to front line workers, small businesses, city staff and neighbors.

One thing to know: When chaos happens, you want people like her on your team!

Thank you for all you do, Lisa!
