The Mirror is seeking nominations for its 2022 Season of Sharing recipient.
Started in 2005, Season of Sharing uses the reach of the local newspaper and altoonamirror.com, the expertise of the Central Pennsylvania Community Foundation and residents' generosity to benefit area nonprofits.
The annual holiday appeal, now in its 18th year, has raised $339,056 since its inception.
Last year's campaign raised $31,556 for the Blair County Library System.
"We look forward to selecting another worthy recipient for Season of Sharing," Mirror Publisher Dan Slep said. "It's a program we're most proud of."
A brief nomination form can be found as a PDF by going to bit.ly/320j9cz.
The nomination form must be printed out and mailed to the Mirror at:
Season of Sharing, 301 Cayuga Ave., Altoona, PA 16602.
The deadline for nominations is 4 p.m. Monday, Oct. 3.
