Jenco Awards honor community service in Appalachian Ohio

The Jenco Foundation Fund is now accepting nominations for the 2025 Jenco Awards, which honor Appalachian Ohioans who have impacted the lives of others through community service and leadership.

A collaboration between the Jenco Foundation and the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, the awards celebrate individuals across the 32-county region who have made contributions outside their paid positions. Recipients are recognized for dedicating their time, skills and passion to serve their neighbors and communities.

Open to individuals of all ages, the Jenco Awards recognize service in fields including arts and culture, community and economic development, education, environmental stewardship, and health and human services. Nominations are due by Tuesday, June 3. Forms, guidelines and a list of past recipients can be found at www.AppalachianOhio.org/Jenco.
