“Amber’s heart is full of love for anyone and everyone! She’s the strongest, bravest, and most wonderful person.” – Joseph Owen

Amber Kilburn is a member of the Vermont Army National Guard, where her work has allowed her to go above and beyond for her community. Amber and other members of the guard organize a Santa Convoy, dressing up and decorating their trucks driving town to town spreading Christmas Cheer. She has also organized other fundraisers such as Hits for Hero’s softball tournament, Halloween events for kids and more. When a friend and community member was diagnosed with a brain tumor Amber raised money to help with expenses and did everything she could to help support a family going through a very difficult time. She’s gone above and beyond for many people in her community and is always looking for ways to help those in need.
