RI Heroes: Help Patch Recognize Those Making A Difference
The helpers are the people who make life better. Nominate your Local Heroes to give them the recognition they deserve, presented by Ring.

The adage that "not all heroes wear capes" is one that's true now more than ever, and Patch wants to hear about the 'heroes' who are helping your community get through these difficult times.
Patch has partnered with Ring to shine a spotlight on the neighborhood heroes making a difference in their communities, whether it's the clerk at your local grocery store who went above and beyond to help you, the nurse who tended a sick family member or the stranger who showed you a moment of kindness.
We've already told the stories of a nursing home worker who keeps residents smiling, an organization that makes and donates thousands of masks and the essential worker who "fearlessly chooses to love" despite the struggles of the pandemic.
