Helping Seniors During Pandemic: Oxford Hero

OXFORD, 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 Bonnie Chevarella who nominated Oxford Senior Center Assistant Director Heather Hanley.

Reason for recognition: She has been a rock to the senior community. She has brought some to get groceries and even purchased toilet paper to give out to seniors. She's there every day and always with a smile. She helps in any way she can. She answers the phones and helps

One thing to know: She really cares about the Oxford Seniors. She works very hard at the Center ..helping seniors in many ways and is always there to assist them in just about every need or problem they encounter.

Thank you for all you do, Heather!
