These are just a few of the hundreds of tasks Medfield volunteers take on in a given year to give back to the community. Each day, quietly and without fanfare, Medfield residents do remarkable things to help support Medfield causes. That’s why the Medfield Foundation needs you to shed some light on the town's many unsung heroes by nominating them for a Medfield Foundation, Inc. (MFI) volunteer award.

This year, you can nominate Medfield residents for any of these three honors: Volunteer of the Year, Youth Volunteer of the Year, and Lifetime Achievement Award (a new category for 2012). Nominations for the 2012 volunteer awards are due Feb. 10.

While the volunteers being nominated must be Medfield residents, those submitting nominations are not required to live in Medfield.
