Each year in April, the Northeast Tarrant Chamber hosts our Hometown Heroes Luncheon, celebrating the unsung and tireless efforts of local Hometown Heroes right here in Northeast Tarrant County. From military veterans to police, fire, and health care professionals to the volunteers who make the great efforts of our local non-profits possible - we honor their efforts through this special luncheon!
