Falmouth Heroes: Help Patch Recognize People Making A Difference

FALMOUTH, MA — The adage 'not all heroes wear capes' is more apparent now than ever. 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. Patch wants to recognize as many of these heroes as possible. Falmouth residents have made several nominations:

Kerin Delaney runs a nonprofit that has helped people get food during the coronavirus pandemic

With the help of 50 volunteers, Mashpee educator Mike Looney printed more than 7,000 face shields for Cape Cod hospitals.
