NC Heroes: Help Patch Recognize Those Making A Difference

NORTH CAROLINA — The adage "not all heroes wear capes" is one that's true now more than ever as we continue to deal with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. We want to hear about the "heroes" who are helping your North Carolina 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.

We've already told the story of a teenage community volunteer, a local chef who is feeding those in hard times, and welcome your submissions to highlight more good works.

Let us know about those making a difference by filling out the form below and we'll be happy to share their impact with the rest of the community. Contributions big and small are important and valued.

Thank you for nominating someone who makes your neighborhood a better place.
