Our first responders usually go above and beyond the call of duty, but this past year is definitely something to recognize above all the rest. That's why our station started the Spotlight SouthCoast Frontline Heroes program. We want to highlight the frontline workers who are helping the SouthCoast get through the COVID-19 pandemic every single day. If you would like to shine a light on the essential workers in your life, click HERE to nominate them for the Spotlight SouthCoast Frontline Heroes program. Let everyone know what this past year has been like for them and how proud you are to know them. This program is made possible thanks to our sponsor, Prima Care.
