2021 Annual Community Awards Presented by PNC Bank

10.27.2021 — LISC StoriesCommunities on the Line

Join us to celebrate excellence in the community development sector!

The purpose of LISC's Annual Community Awards is to bring us all together to honor excellence in the community development sector. This year we may not be asking you to dress up and get in line for the breakfast buffet, but we still have plenty to celebrate. The 2021 awardees provide stable housing for families recovering from domestic violence, help women transitioning out of the prison system start the next chapter of their lives, advocate for residents and small businesses in their communities and provide nutritious food during the pandemic. We will be sharing their inspiring stories over the coming weeks. We encourage you to join in the celebration by sharing as many as you can personally or through your company's social media to help us celebrate the work of our awardees. 

Congratulations to our honorees

Read about this year's honorees in their Spotlight Columns and Q&A Interviews, and watch the LocalBuzz videos to see them receive their awards and talk about their community impact. Help us celebrate their work by following us Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn and sharing these story posts.
