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. We’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from John LaForest-Roys who nominated Janet Culver of Farmington.

According to the nominating person, Culver has made a mark in her community helping the homeless.
