RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

This submission comes from Richard M. Alvidrez of Moreno Valley, who nominated Jeff Coble of Riverside:

What does the nominee do for work?:
Homeless ministries, food pantry, housing, acts program, and the list goes on...

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
For the last 20+ years that I have known Brother Coble he has never let up, not a bit. You can find him and his crew of dedicated volunteers putting together care packages of essentials for those in need.

Homeless living in the river bottoms isn't the ideal place to go visit but this is where you will find him and his crew handing out care packages and when the blessings really come in he supplies blankets, socks and other essentials as well.

He has taken more in when there in need and has very unselfishly given and lended what he has all from his home. All respects and love going out to Brother Coble of Riverside, thank you for all you do. You are a genuine superhero to us!

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
Jeff Coble is by far one of the greatest friends/brothers a man can want. His love of people is sometimes difficult to understand but he has no boundaries when it it comes to that. Christ's love has no boundaries and this is what he demonstrates in his life.

Thank you for all you do, Jeff!
