Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Vidhi has been going above and beyond to provide meals to essential workers in the area. They recently even donated boxed meals to Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, which is not even in their restaurant's primary location, which shows that they are truly going above and beyond.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
Vidhi and her team are personifying the idea of doing a good deed to people; they are opening up their restaurant to cook fresh meals, and going out to deliver them to the essential workers who are working hard in their communities.

Thank you for all you do, Vidhi!
