Woman Made Masks, Organized Meal Deliveries: Fairfield Local Hero

FAIRFIELD, 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 Ellen Swan, who nominated her friend, Anne Farkas, of Fairfield.

Name: Anne Farkas

Reason for recognition: In addition to working full-time from home during the COVID crisis, Anne learned how to make masks and gave them away to colleagues, friends and business owners in Fairfield. Additionally, Anne organized meals to be delivered to first responders.

One thing to know: Anne is always thinking of ways to make the world a better place.

Thank you for all you do, Anne!
