Garwood Mailman 'Goes Beyond What Is Required Of His Job'

CLARK/GARWOOD, 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 Evelyn Archibald who is nominating her mailman Xavier Carpio.

Name: Xavier Carpio

Hero's job: Postal Delivery

Reason for recognition: Xavier goes beyond what is required of his job. If a package or letter goes missing, he does his best to locate it. This is not just for people on his route but for the whole of Garwood. He does his job with pride.

One thing to know: The pride and caring he has for his job.

Thank you for all you do, Xavier!
