DO YOU KNOW A HOUSTON HERO?

Houston is one of the nation’s most charitable cities. Between community volunteers, foundation organizers and corporate leaders, we help others and get things done.

Do you know someone who embodies the spirit of giving in Greater Houston?

The Houston Chronicle is looking for generous individuals who donate their time, their money — or both — to benefit our cities and their citizens. We’ll feature Houston’s Heroes in our annual Houston Gives section, coming Sept. 26.

Tell us why you think your nominee is a community helper and let us know how to get in touch with your hero.

The deadline is Aug. 16.

Email nominations to HoustonHeroes@chron.com or send via postal mail to:
