It’s been a year like no other with many challenges. But so many people have stepped up and help others get over the hurdles. Now, 95-3 MNC, Impress Jewelry Creations and Modern Kitchen want to recognize our “Hometown Heroes“.

This week’s Hometown Hero is Serenity Whiting.

Listener Judy writes to say: “She’s an amazing wife, mother, friend and nurse. She works the ER and is so kind to her patients. She’s also does home care and makes her patients like family. Often checking on them on her off hours. She would give you the shirt off her back. Hope you have the honor of meeting her one day.”

Submit a photo of the hero in your life and tell us why they deserve recognition.

From restaurant and retail front line workers, to doctors, nurses, police and fire crews and other essential workers, it’s time to give them credit as Michiana continues to reopen.

Winners recognized on air will receive a special pin, designed by Impress Jewelry Creations and other great prizes.
