Hillsborough Heroes Sew Masks For Free

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — 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 Steven Mardekian of Hillsborough, who nominated Jana Spellman and Gabriela Spata of Hillsborough:

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
No

What does the nominee do for work?:
Sew face coverings for people to wear to stop the spread of COVID-19

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
They are helping to control the spread of COVID-19 and aren't asking for money for the masks they are making. People can donate if they choose, but it's not required.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
They are doing a great thing for the community and not asking for anything in return.

Thank you for all you do, Jana and Gabriela!
