RELEASE: Gottheimer Hosts Fifth District Hometown Heroes AwardsHometown Heroes honors veterans, first responders, students, teachers, and community leaders

Hosted on Facebook Live, Fifth District residents tuned in to honor the Hometown Heroes awardees, all of whom were recognized for their dedication to helping the lives of their neighbors, families, and communities. “We are lucky to have so many unsung heroes in our communities, whose quiet power of service goes on every day without the recognition they truly deserve. They just do it because they care. Today is their day,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “These Fifth District Hometown Heroes are nominated by leaders throughout our community — including our mayors, faith leaders, and first responders — as well as by friends, family members, and loved ones who believe that they truly deserve the title. These individuals come from all walks of life, but they all share an idea that is particularly special — they embody our Jersey Values and make our community such a special place to live, work, and raise a family. They are actively helping us build a more perfect union. We all should work to live up to their example." Full video of the virtual ceremony can be found HERE.
