Illinois Heroes: Tell Patch About Those Making A Difference

ILLINOIS — Not all heroes wear capes — sometimes they wear scrubs, uniforms or just stand out through their hard work and caring. We want to hear about the "heroes" who are helping your community get through these changing times.

Patch has partnered with Ring to shine a spotlight on the neighborhood heroes who are making a difference in their communities, whether it's the clerk at your local grocery store who went above and beyond to help you, the nurse who tended a sick family member or the stranger who showed you a moment of kindness.
