Community Resilience Awards
The Community Resilience Awards celebrate individuals and organizations who are making a meaningful impact in building stronger, more connected, and resilient communities.
We invite community members to nominate those who show up for others, foster connection, and contribute to the wellbeing of our region. Whether through professional work, volunteer efforts, or everyday acts of care, these awards recognize the people who help our community thrive.
Nominations are open to anyone making a difference—big or small—and offer an opportunity to uplift the stories and contributions that often go unrecognized.
Award recipients will be honored at a community celebration bringing people together to recognize impact, share in connection, and celebrate the collective work happening across our region.
The Awards Ceremony is generously supported by the Jefferson School Foundation.

Caregiver Wellness Support
Caregiving is meaningful work—and it can also be exhausting. This event creates space for both professional and personal caregivers to step away, connect, and invest in their own wellbeing.
Whether you’re a parent, caring for a loved one, or supporting others through your work, this is an opportunity to pause and focus on yourself in a supportive, community-centered environment.
Participants can engage in a variety of wellness activities designed to promote relaxation and restoration, including acupuncture, mindfulness, meditation, creative activities, herbal tea, and more. A separate childcare space will be available to support participation.
This event is free and open to all caregivers, offering a welcoming space to recharge, connect with others, and leave with a renewed sense of balance and support.
