Food4Less Cashier Reminds People To Be Safe: Oak Forest Hero

OAK FOREST, IL — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

This submission comes from DD of Oak Forest, who nominated Food4Less cashier Lynn Synowiec:

Lynn Synowiec

Name of the person who nominated the hero:
DD

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
Front end cashier at Food4Less

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Lynn is always friendly and helpful with her customers. She has many “regulars” that only go to her register for checkout. Through this whole epidemic she asks how her customers and their families are doing. She reminds people to be safe. Lynn herself has at risk family members and is aware that she is exposed to possible contraction of the virus which could be transmitted to them. The world could use more people like Lynn

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
Caring, loving, reliable

Thank you for all you do, Lynn!
