'Here To Help Our Community Any Way He Can': Murrieta Hero

MURRIETA, 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 John Brown of Murrieta, who nominated Captain John Birks, also of Murrieta:

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
Commander of The Salvation Army of Murrieta

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
John is very humble and does his job without looking for accolades. TSA is helping more people than ever with food boxes and coordinates with other local food pantries to ensure highly perishable commercial foods can get from restaurants to where they can be used before expiring using local volunteer drivers from our shared communities in SWRC.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
Captain John Birks with TSA is here to help our community in any way he can.

Thank you for all you do, John!
