#HeroPack: Nominate your hero to win from Westpack

As we continue to fight the global pandemic, our Bedfordview and Edenvale communities boast a pack of heroes as people step up to help their fellow community members in need daily.

Often these people go out of their way to help others with no reward nor acknowledgement.

The NEWS and West Pack Lifestyle are changing that culture with the NEWS/West Pack Lifestyle Hero of the Month competition.

We want to reward those Bedfordview and Edenvale heroes who value and understand the term ubuntu by putting the needs of the community first.

Nominate the person you think is a hero and put them in line to win an R1 000 West Pack Lifestyle voucher to spend as they wish.

Think of people who are doing good for our environment, helping animals or running run soup kitchens or even those filling the odd pothole or pick up litter on the weekend.

Also remember the public servants, care workers, NPO workers or teachers and business people who have a heart for the less fortunate and care about our towns.

This will be a monthly competition with the first #HeroPack member and the winner being announced in our August 4 edition.
