Brookline Heroes: Help Patch Recognize Those Making A Difference

We all know someone in Brookline who's making a difference in this difficult time. Let's give them some of the recognition they deserve.

BROOKLINE, MA — Countless people are putting themselves in danger by simply showing up to work in essential roles for our communities, risking possible infection from the new coronavirus. Doctors, nurses, police and grocery store workers alike are just some of the professions with a high potential for exposure to the virus.

Some of these everyday heroes we spot around town might not even be working at a job, like this Newton woman who organized an entire city to show solidarity on what would have been Marathon Monday. Or those who help with connecting neighbors to each other to get and give help.

We know you've encountered or seen them around town, and we want to help recognize as many of these heroes as possible.
