No. 1: COVID-19 pandemic
In Pueblo West 2020 was the year of coronavirus concerns which changed everything about day-to-day life and made new heroes for the community.
Frontline workers like medical staff became heroes in the fight against the virus while grocery store employees saved the community from going hungry. Since March, the community has seen shutdowns, stay-at-home orders, outbreaks and quarantines.
While COVID-19 pushed schools to mostly online classes, forced restaurants and bars to do business via takeout and had many employees working from home, things like online meetings became the new normal. In Pueblo West, one local baker whose livelihood was idled by coronavirus concerns Brenda Huffman, owner of Foodhearts Custom Cakes sewed more than 1,500 face masks deploying them to Parkview nurses and anyone else in need of some extra protection.
