What is Hero Central?
The world could use a few heroes right about now. Each of us has a chance to be a hero in the life of another person. Hero Central is about inspiring that and unleashing what we call a "Hero Army" ... regular people from every corner of the Triad, offering to help those in need. We want to tell the stories of these everyday heroes and at the same time help respond to some of the challenges facing local communities ... things like hunger, housing, employment, and more.
