Made With Love: Woman Bakes Bread For Neighbor In Marin County

MARIN COUNTY, CA — With items like bread, water and toilet paper quickly selling out in stores in the Bay Area and across the country due to the coronavirus crisis, community members are stepping up to help one another in Marin County.

"It's crazy right now, but we're grateful to be together and to live in a neighborhood where people are truly rising up," said Terah Brossart Daniels, who has lived in the Bel Marin Keys community since 2011. She previously lived in Novato.

As a mother of 1-year-old twins, Daniels has admittedly worried about finding essential supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic. She is thankful, however, to live in a community where "people genuinely care about each other."

"Many neighbors have asked us – from 6 feet away, don't worry! – how we're doing and whether we need anything," she said. "We have had a few moments of panic thinking we'd not be able to find diapers or milk for our babies, but we're doing OK."

Over the weekend, a neighbor surprised the family with a loaf of freshly baked bread.

"She made an extra 'just for us and the kids,'" Daniels said. "I cannot tell you how much this meant to us."
