The First Coast Nice List - Nominate Someone Making Our Community Better

Celebrating First Coasters Making a Difference Since 2020

Know someone making our community better? It’s time to celebrate them.

We All Know Them

The neighbor who quietly helps everyone. The business owner who hires local first. The kid raising money for a cause. The server who paid for a stranger’s meal. The volunteer who shows up every weekend.

First Coast is full of do-gooders making our community better – and it’s time we shine The Spotlight on them.

Nomination Categories
