My wife has been there for our family during this trying time. She home schools our oldest while keeping the toddler occupied all day, while I leave for 24 hours at a time for my shift (firefighter). Thank you honey for staying strong and taking care of all of us, even while you can't get any outside hello from family. We love you!

My husband, Aaron, has always put other people before him. He always makes himself available to help family, friends and those in need. He has been a first responder in many car accidents and has stabilized people in critical need until paramedics arrive. During this pandemic, he has offered physical labor and trips to go to grocery store for his community. He is unaware I am submitting this entry. He would probably ask me not to do it as he is so humble and never expects anything in return. I want to do something for him because I feel he is very deserving of this! Thank you.

Stephanie volunteers almost daily to help coordinate and support the Tuesday Food Pantry At StBonaventure Church. She picks up foods from various stores and sets up a bagging system so that those that need food can come by and get food. At the beginning of the pandemic she was assisting with giving food to over 300 families. She does this with a smile in her face and a prayer on her heart.

"Mike has been leading a local effort to make and provide face shields for healthcare workers at local nursing homes, hospitals, and others, and has delivered hundreds in-state and across the country. It's all-volunteer and he'll soon be holding an online auction of decorated one-of-a-kind face shields featuring artwork from artists and cartoonists dedicating their talent to the effort. He's giving back in a big way during this unprecedented time. He gives most of his free time to the effort when not working and rounds up volunteers left and right. No one is paid, and donations are welcome. Heroic in the best local kind of way. Great civic spirit!"
