MCT’s annual Community Hero Program honors four individuals each year who have displayed outstanding service to their community, as selected by a volunteer committee.

Do you know someone who devotes an extraordinary amount of volunteer time to a nonprofit and/or charitable organization? Please share the story of their generosity with the rest of the community and nominate them.

While this program was temporarily canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, we’re certain that there’s no shortage of local heroes who went above and beyond for their community through their volunteer efforts.

The selected heroes will be announced and are invited to attend our annual MCT Community Appreciation Day on May 27 at our main office in Jim Thorpe, where they receive an award from MCT, citations from both the state representative and state senators, and a $200 donation to the organization/charity of their choice. An additional award celebration will take place in June for the newly selected MCT Community Heroes, their families/friends and past Heroes.

Nomination criteria, program details, past heroes, and nomination link can be found at www.mct.bank/heroes.
