What makes a community thrive isn’t just the roads, buildings or services; it’s the people who live here and the care they show for one another. Every day, North Port is shaped by citizens who go above and beyond, often without recognition. Whether it’s a neighbor who checks in on the elderly, a volunteer who serves meals to those in need, someone who mows their neighbors' lawns or even the person who rescued a cat stuck in a tree, these are the stories that make our city stronger, kinder and more connected.
The Citizen Hero Award is an opportunity to highlight those who go above and beyond in our community. Nominations for the first round of the Citizen Hero Award open Friday, Oct. 3. Get started nominating your hero.
