The Everyday Heroes Project is a multimedia initiative to tell stories of ordinary people transforming their communities. These unsung heroes work on the ground to raise their neighbors out of poverty and help the needy when public institutions fail. Here, we share their stories, in hopes that you too will hear the call to action and help those who need it most.
