WKTV reported that the American Red Cross is honoring what it calls "unsung heroes of the Mohawk Valley."
On Wednesday, the Mohawk Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross announced details of their annual Great Heroes Breakfast to be held Thursday, March 31 at 7:30 a.m. at Herkimer County Community College and celebrate this year's recipients.
Eve Van de Wal will be honored, receiving the Michael Cianfraco Tribute to Humanity Award. The award is named for the former Red Cross Executive Director who passed away in 2001.
Also honored will be Margaret O'Shea, who leads the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties.
"I grew up in this community, and have been actively volunteering because I love it. It's my home," Van de Wal said. "So to be honored for whatever small difference I make here, is especially meaningful to me."
Since July, our local chapter of the American Red Cross has helped out in 48 household fires, 18 of which were just in the past six weeks.
