BEST NONPROFIT:
THE HOME FRONT CARES

While the local service members are deployed, these are the hometown volunteers and military retirees who raised $300,000 last year for emergency assistance to 2,000 soldiers’ families. They’re doing it again this year, adding help and vehicle modifications for wounded service members and are being joined by the Welcome Home GWOT Heroes Fund, which supports homecoming activities for GIs based here.
