EVERYDAY HEROES

Everyday Heroes reflect what is best in our community. They are ordinary people whose actions demonstrate the potential that is in all of us. Heroes are selected based on the degree to which their acts of heroism and kindness uphold the values and vision of the American Red Cross, leaving a lasting and positive impact on the residents of our community. 
 
Past hero recipients have been: a pastor that collects food and delivers the food to the homeless, a state trooper that saved a trucker’s life at a Highway Weigh Station, a neighbor waking up a family when he saw their house on fire, a military officer that runs a suicide prevention service for current servicemen and women. 
 
If someone is a Hero in your eyes, we encourage you to nominate them today!  Deadline is January 20, 2020.

HEROES AMONG US
