The best of what a leader and volunteer should be." That's the description of Fitchburg's Amy Good from her peers at Angels Wish, Inc., a non-profit volunteer organization that provides care for homeless animals in preparation for permanent placement. Amy is president of the group's board of directors.
With Amy's help and dedication, Angels Wish placed 449 cats and 133 dogs in loving homes over the last year. Amy is involved in all facets of Angels Wish, including facilitating adoptions, fundraising for a new location, and fostering the group's marketing activities. We salute Amy for showing us how "just one person really can make a difference.
We all have the energy that can make a difference. The personal energy of volunteering touches lives and enriches our communities.
JEFFERSON AWARD
In 1972, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Senator Robert Taft Jr. and Sam Beard founded the American Institute for Public Service. Their mission: to encourage individuals for their achievements and contributions through public and community service. By recognizing the work of volunteers through the Jefferson Awards, the Institute believes in can encourage others to get involved in their communities, and to discover inspiration in ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

And each year, one Hometown Hero will be chosen to travel to Washington, D.C., where their selfless devotion to public service will be recognized at the Jefferson Awards National Ceremony.
