COMMUNITY HELPERS OF THE YEAR • While it's easy to admire and applaud helpers who are tackling the world's biggest challenges on an enormous scale, the helpers in our own communities are also doing so much good just without the fame and acclaim. We collected these submissions from the Good Good Good community to celebrate the good being done in our own backyards. Some submissions have been edited for length and clarity.
