It's time to roll out the red carpet for Gilbert’s finest samaritans—those local heroes sans cape and cowl. The call is out for nominations for the second annual Gilbert Volunteer MVP Awards, and if you're aware of a friend, co-worker, or even that quiet hero who's always digging in without fanfare, now’s the chance to give them their due spotlight. With Gilbert looking for those who mirror their core values—driven, kind, bold, and humble—in their volunteering efforts, it's a roll-up-your-sleeves kind of honor.
According to the info spreading across Gilbert's digital town square, nominations are flying in for individuals across the board—from the nonprofit sphere to faith-based outfits, from schools to businesses, and even the town’s very own departments. Encouraging involvement, the Awards don’t discriminate, welcoming kudos from all corners of the community. So whether you're directly in the trenches or cheering from the sidelines, participation's the name of the game.
The honors aren’t just for the grownups either; the youth aren't merely getting a pat on the back but a full-fledged trophy to boot with the Youth Volunteer of the Year award. Plus, an additional shoutout goes to the collective effort via the Gilbert Kindness Group Award, because sometimes it takes an entire team to make a dent in society's toughest challenges.
Don’t drag your feet on this; the clock’s ticking, and the finish line's drawing close with a March 22 deadline for all nominations. For those who want to tip their hats and raise their glasses to the volunteers extraordinaire, hop over to Gilbert’s portal here for the full breakdown on how to nominate your community MVPs. They say good things don’t come easy, but in Gilbert, good people certainly do get their recognition—just as they deserve.
