Watch: 2021 ESL Jefferson Awards Special

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — On average, nearly 50% of our friends and neighbors give their time helping others in our community. Rochester ranks second in the nation when it comes to those providing community service. We solve problems, create connections, and transform lives.

The ESL Jefferson Awards was established to honor the men, women, and children who tirelessly give their time to help others.

News10NBC and ESL Federal Credit Union are proud to partner in recognizing five individuals who have gone above and beyond. Now it’s your chance to hear the stories of Shawn Ritchie, Lynne Stiefler, Clay Harris, Bijaya Khada, and Matthew Doward.

We honored the 2021 ESL Jefferson Award winners Saturday night.
