I love companies that give back to their consumers. A great example this Thanksgiving season is La Brea Bakery. I love their bread and I enjoy it with my family often. I love them even more as a company now because of their #ThanksgivingHero campaign.

Not everyone gets the opportunity to spend holidays with their families. Whether it be a fire fighter, police officer, other medical personel, food service, IT, or another dedicated worker, sometimes they have to go to work on holidays. So La Brea Bakery, the leading artisan bread company in the United State, wants to give back to these heroes. From now through November 15, 2015 you can nominate your hero for the chance for them to receive a fully catered meal on Thanksgiving day. As long as it’s someone you care for and who regularly works on Thanksgiving serving others, nominate them! 5 lucky finalists across the United States will get this great catered meal.

CONTEST ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS: To submit an entry, visit this web site and click the “Thanksgiving Heroes” tab to create your form submission by including: your first and last name; zip code; email address; an essay of 100 words or less telling about your family member that you will be unable to share Thanksgiving dinner with and submit at least one photograph showing both you and your family member that you will be unable to share Thanksgiving dinner with. Submissions must be received by November 15th 2015. Finalists will be announced November 17th 2015, after which the public will have a chance to vote for their favorites through November 20th 2015.

For my Thanksgiving Hero nomination, I entered Rae Nogueira! Rae is an Emergency Room Trauma Nurse at UC Hospital in Cincinnati, OH. I cannot think of a time that I remember Rae NOT working on Thanksgiving. I cannot thing of a person more worthy and deserving that Rae. She has been a nurse for nearly 20 years. She works tirelessly both in and outside of the hospital As the mother of 3, she manages to be at every game, every class party and more. With her husband equally busy as a Sargent for the local police department, I cannot think of a year they sat together as a family for Thanksgiving. As with every year, Rae will be hard at work again this Thanksgiving taking care of those sick, injured, in need and more while most of the country eats with their families. Rae and the entire staff at UC Medical wholeheartedly deserve this small token of appreciation and the chance to have a real “Hot” meal on Thanksgiving other than cafeteria food.

I really hope you vote for Rae and give this team the meal they deserve!
