Heroes of the Heartland are nominated by their peers to be recognized for going above and beyond in their service to others. A Hero of the Heartland is someone who has made a difference in any of the following categories: Animal Rescue, Education, Fire & Rescue, Good Samaritan, Health Care, Law Enforcement, Military, Professional Responder, Volunteer Community Impact or Workplace Safety. The Heroes of the Heartland Breakfast will be held at the Iowa Events Center on March 26 at 7:30 a.m. For more information on Heroes of the Heartland, email Lori Talbott at lori.talbott2@redcross.org or call 515-264-6314.
