Through February 2, the Framingham Council on Aging will be accepting nominations for its fourth annual Senior Heroes Awards.

Four community members aged 60 and above who volunteer their time to community endeavors will be honored with awards in May.

The awards were an idea of former Council on Aging member Glenda Thomas, according to Senior Heroes Awards committee member Brian Sullivan. In an interview with The Frame, which you can watch above, he explained that he was inspired to be a part of the process to honor selfless volunteers across the community.

“You’re not just nominating a senior,” Sullivan said.

“You’re nominating a senior for doing things related to diversity.”

The awards are meant to recognize those who boost the city’s inclusivity and diversity in four facets: culture and the arts, health care, social development, and public service.

Current city employees, elected officials, or candidates for public office are not eligible to be nominated.
