Our view: Small things do matter
Cheers to Kathleen Wiedenfield.
A Huntley resident, Wiedenfield formed One Neighbor at a Time in 2011 to help residents of a small, poverty-stricken township in Kankakee County, located about 70 miles south of Chicago.
As detailed in Sunday's story by Northwest Herald reporter Stephen DiBenedetto, Wiedenfield learned of the plight of Pembroke Township's 2,100 or so residents while watching The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2005.
