Why do you believe the local hero should be recognized or honored?

She started We Are Creed, which gives books to kids in at-risk environments. She not only helps those in Illinois, but in several other states. There are books and journals shared with foster care children, those in children’s hospitals, etc., because reading can provide a safe place for children facing difficulties. With her at the helm, they’re creating remarkable effects every day.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the local hero?

A kind heart, all the work she does as a volunteer.

Thank you for all you do, Stephanie Creed!
