Thirteen local people are being honored as finalists for the Jefferson award this year for their extraordinary service to the community.
For the second year in a row, the event will be virtual because of the pandemic. There will be no get-together where they will be feted.
From helping children diagnosed with cancer and their families to helping refugees navigate their way in their new country to collecting used musical instruments for schoolchildren who cannot afford to buy them to making beds for children who do not have them, these volunteers have spent countless hours pursuing causes to benefit others.

ROTTERDAM – As a former firefighter and EMT, Nicole Panetta has always made it a point to help others.
Now, she just needs a little bit of assistance to do that and she’s finding it with Oakley, a pitbull and service dog in-training through Operation At Ease (OAE). The Rotterdam-based organization traditionally pairs shelter dogs with veterans who have posttraumatic stress disorder but opened it up to first responders like Panetta at the start of 2020.
