The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's annual Holiday Heroes stories highlight the work of community members who make our neighborhoods and towns better, safer, kinder and healthier. They are among the best, but certainly not the only, examples of people who practice the holiday spirit of giving year round. Each of these people, nominated by friends, family members, co-workers and people they have helped, gets a $150 gift card from PNC Bank.
Here are this year's winners:
Beck Dowling: Woman builds social setting for disabled adults
Shamichael Traylor and Diana Hurst: Nurses's nonprofit gives cancer patients extra help
William “Buck” Godfrey: Teacher and coach to generations of DeKalb County students
Jean Haworth: PAWS Atlanta volunteer makes dogs more adoptable
Frankie Hopper: 'Doing what I'm supposed to'
Jean Pittman:Toys and tidings of good health
The Mercer brothers: Helping students communicate
Ingvald Larson: Helping the least of these
Joanna Snider: Former teacher's mission is to feed hungry students
Rex Michel: An answered prayer to those in need
Lisa Higgins: Mom channels her pain into helping severely ill kids
