Danbury Mask Maker Donates To Families In Need

DANBURY, 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.

Nancy Munn has figured out a way to give new meaning to the phrase "win-win." A retired nurse practitioner the Rogers Park School Based Health Center for many years, she now makes masks as personal protective equipment, and donates all the proceeds to purchase groceries for families in need!

"Nancy is a selfless, generous woman who is always looking for a way to help," wrote Terri Sliech in her nomination.

Thank you for all you do, Nancy!
