There are heroes all around us and we want you to help us identify them.

The Springfield News-Sun is looking for Unsung Heroes in our community — those people who consistently go above and beyond to help others — but rarely get the recognition they deserve.

We are asking our readers to help identify these people, so we may recognize them for their hard work.

Think about the person you know who consistently delivers food to people in quarantine, who mentors neighborhood children or who is helping to transform a neighborhood. It could be a child who has raised a significant amount of money for a local charity, a health care worker who is working extra hard, a teacher who is getting creative with virtual learning or a person who is constantly uplifting spirits.

Who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to help the community during the pandemic? Who inspires you?

Please provide information about your nominee and your contact info below.

For more information or questions, email natalie.jones@coxinc.com.
