Cranberry Woman Makes Thousands Of Masks; Local Hero Recognized

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — 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 Ed Jenkins, who nominated Tricia Jenkins.

Name: Tricia Jenkins

State: PA

Hometown: Cranberry

Hero's job: Volunteer

Relationship to nominee: Spouse

Reason for recognition: Tricia, along with a friend, Jessica, sew masks for organizations and
individuals who need them. A lot of the material and supplies they've purchased themselves. They have received donations of supplies and some cash that they put towards more masks.

One thing to know: These women have worked tirelessly with no recognition for months making
thousands of masks to donate to schools, nursing homes and other organizations where they're needed.

Thank you for all you do, Tricia!
