"I think this past year has been rough on everybody but I think the residents have had a really hard time not getting to see their family members," said Donna Bennett-Cobb, Rutherfordton resident. "As a community, it's good fellowship for us, too, and we've had a good time doing it and just spending some time together. Something good, nothing negative at all."
The group said that Bennett-Cobb did something similar on Valentine's Day, reaching out to pandemic-bound people in Rutherford County.
