The Brick Township Hero Awards honor people who are making a difference in Brick in ways large and small.
BRICK, NJ — Do you know someone who's making a difference in Brick Township? Maybe they brighten people's days at a local business. Maybe it's your child's bus driver who makes the kids smile. Maybe it's the package delivery person who takes an extra step to keep your purchases safe.
If you know someone who deserves a shoutout for what they do — in ways big and small — to make Brick Township a better place to live, nominate them for the Brick Hero Awards.
The Brick Hero Awards started in 2015 as a way to honor township residents making the community a better place through small acts of kindness or through larger contributions.
