Meet the 2021 class of Everyday Heroes, who quietly work to heal, unite and improve our communities. Their generosity and kindness are even more inspiring—and sorely needed—during this time of a global pandemic, economic turmoil and social unrest.
Five finalists and 20 semifinalists are recognized in this special publication, which is created through the combined efforts of The Columbus Dispatch, Dispatch Magazines and ThisWeek Community News.
