Biking To Make The Coffee (And Doughnuts): Manchester Local Hero

MANCHESTER, 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 Jason Jankowski's mom, who nominated her son.
