The HERO campaign kicked-off in early October 2023, with the participation of more than a dozen media outlets each featuring an unsung hero in their community. The top 3 finalists were selected by reader audience online votes. Grant placed 2nd in the HERO campaign. Her charity of choice, the Westchester Food Pantry, was awarded $2,500 in prize money.

During the award ceremony Grant said, “This honor and recognition is appreciated but the real heroes are the people who volunteer for the Westchester Food Pantry.”

Thank you Proviso Township for your support of our Community Spotlight HERO: Amanda Grant, the Westchester Food Pantry and its volunteer staff.
