Lakes Area Heroes is proud to support local heroes and their families  in Aitkin, Cass, Crow Wing, and Morrison Counties when they fall on hard times through no fault of their own.  At Lakes Area Heroes, we realize the term “local hero” is a broad term, and we’re committed to helping those who serve our local communities, in any capacity.  From firefighters to dispatchers, correctional officers, law enforcement, and even those supporting our local heroic organizations in administrative capacities.

We recognize when illness, accidents or other events happen to our selfless heroes they don’t expect or ask for help and we would like to thank you for nominating them to the Lakes Area Heroes (LAH) program. The LAH board of directors will review this application and will make every effort to provide the resources to assist them in their time of need. We care and appreciate that you are taking the time to nominate a hero and together we can make our community even stronger. Criteria to be eligible for nomination we ask that all information provided must be true, complete, and accurate. Nominees must reside or serve in Aitkin, Crow Wing, Cass, or Morrison counties.

Our support services are intended to help current law enforcement, firefighters, or emergency responders.  We’re also here to support dispatchers and administrative professionals who work hand in hand with first responders, paramedics, and their immediate families, respectively.
