They are volunteers and many agencies and organizations couldn't manage without them. Nominations are now being sought for the 2023 Jefferson Awards for public service. We all know someone that fits the bill of always saying yes when asked to help or the person that steps up in a time of need. This recognition is open to adults and youths in Allen, Auglaize, Putnam, Van Wert, Hardin, and Hancock Counties. Winners not only get a medallion but also a monetary donation to a non-profit of their choice.

There will be a ceremony on April 19th at the City Club in downtown Lima where the top award winner will be announced to be our area’s representative at the National Jefferson Award Ceremony.
