Individuals who receive the award have made a mask, blanket or other items to make a positive difference in the community. Tait was selected for her work with Mats of Love, which is a volunteer program started at the library where people make mats for homeless individuals using plastic bags. The Mats of Love project started at the library in 2018 with completed mats donated to the Youngstown Blue Coats for distribution for veterans and homeless individuals.
