Her late daughter loved to sew, so she taught herself how to make masks and raised nearly $17,000 for the local food pantry
"As of today we are getting close to $17,000 for the food pantry," Hebert told CNN on Thursday. The food pantry has been dramatically busier during Covid, according to Galante. Hebert's donations supplied the food pantry with three months-worth of food and allowed Galante to purchase a commercial freezer. Hebert also held food drives, gifting masks in exchange for food donations to benefit the food pantry and donated food herself, Galante said. They were so fruitful that Hebert was able to pick and donate 200 pints of blueberries to the food pantry in July, with help from local youth groups.
