Giving back to the community is one of the most valuable characteristics one can have. When individuals work hard to make a difference in their community, we should recognize them. The Wisconsin State Assembly has a special program that pays tribute to these remarkable individuals. The program is called Hometown Heroes.

A Hometown Hero has an unconditional desire to lend a helping hand to those around them. Someone who embodies these traits can be nominated for the Hometown Heroes Award.

If you know anyone who you think is a Hometown Hero, let me know! I’m excited to learn about those making our community a better place for everyone!
