100 Blue Ribbons: Montclair Center Honors Health Care Workers

MONTCLAIR, NJ — It was a small – but important – gesture for a big cause.

The Montclair Center BID recently tied 100 blue ribbons throughout downtown to honor nurses and healthcare workers. The flowers were purchased locally from Anderson Flowers.

“We hope this small gesture will help express our appreciation for those working the frontlines during this devastating pandemic,” said Jason Gleason, executive director for the Montclair Center BID.

“Additionally, many of our local restaurants and businesses are generously donating meals and goods to local hospitals, trying to help in any way they can,” Gleason said.

The Montclair Center BID is posting about donations from restaurants and shops on their Instagram and Facebook feeds on #ThankfulThursdays.
