Mauch Chunk Trust Company’s Community Heroes awards program honors four people each year from Carbon County or the Tamaqua area who have displayed outstanding service to their community, as selected by a volunteer committee.

Do you know someone who devotes an extraordinary amount of volunteer time to a nonprofit or a charitable organization? Please share the story of their generosity with the rest of the community by nominating them before the deadline of March 31.

Nomination criteria, program details, past heroes, and the link to the online nomination form are located at www.mct.bank/heroes.

The selected heroes will be announced at MCT’s Community Appreciation Day on Friday, May 23 at main office in Jim Thorpe.

A formal award celebration will take place later in June for the newly selected Community Heroes, their families, friends and past Heroes.

The selected heroes will receive an award from MCT, citations from both their state representative and state senators and a $200 donation to the organization/charity of their choice.
