‘Offered Services To Those Who Need Help’: Long Valley Hero

LONG VALLEY, NJ — 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.

This submission comes from Bascha Mon who nominated Clayton Zdroik.

• Name: Clayton Zdroik
• State: NJ
• Hometown: Long Valley
• Hero's job: Other
• If other: a student at Rutgers
• Relationship to nominee: he placed a classified on the Long Valley Patch
• Reason for recognition: He organized a group of his friends who were home from school quarantined and offered their services to people in our community who needed help of any kind.
• One thing to know: he is kind and thoughtful and responsible. He wanted to be helpful and did not do this to enrich himself. As a result, we have become friends although I am 87 1/2 and he is 22. I am sure there are others in our town. He was of great help.
