Community hero is an unsung local figure who sparks change, ignites hope and weaves the very fabric of a neighborhood. They are soulful shopkeepers, dedicated volunteers and elders whose very lives are chapters in a shared history book. Whether they are fighting to bring an end to homelessness, caring for the sick and elderly or inspiring youth through artistic expression, these heroes are making an impact in their neighborhoods, their cities and beyond.
Throughout the year, the Greg Hill Foundation and Chick-fil-A recognize unsung community heroes across New York City for their selfless acts of kindness and contributions to make our communities better. Watch the video series below to learn more about these inspiring individuals and why they are deemed community heroes by our team.
