Wolf Den Hero for August 2024: Amanda Babcock

Each month The Wolf along with Mid Hudson Pump and MHA of Dutchess County select one of our area first responders to be inducted into the Wolf Den of Heroes. 

For over a year now we have asked you to nominate a first responder you know. If you have yet to nominate someone be sure to do it after you read more about our August 2024 Wolf Den of Heroes Inductee. 

Meet Our Wolf Den Inductee for August 2024, Amanda Babcock 

Amanda Babcock was nominated by her husband Matthew who shared why he believed Amanda should be selected for the Wolf Den of Heroes.

He started by telling us about Amanda's service to both our country and her community:

I want to nominate my extraordinary wife, Amanda Babcock, as a beacon of service and heroism in our community. Amanda's dedication to serving others spans multiple facets of her life, from her role as a full-time member of the NY Army National Guard to her invaluable contributions as a first responder with New Windsor EMS. (via Submission from Matthew Babcock)

According to Matthew, Amanda's service journey began at age 17 when she enlisted in the NY Army National Guard. She is now a full-time member of the Armed National Guard. Both Amanda's Brother and Grandfather have service records. In addition to her military service, Amanda tirelessly volunteers with New Windsor EMS.

We'll be picking our September inductee soon. 

The Wolf Den of Heroes Celebrates First Responders in Our Community 

For the last several years here at The Wolf, we've been trying to figure out a way to put a spotlight on the first responders in our community. They do so much for us and leave their families at a moment's notice to help out our neighbors in need. 

We decided the least we could do is give them the spotlight on Wakin' Up With CJ and Jess and social media as a 'thank you' for all they do.

Then, our partners at Mental Health America Dutchess County and Mid Hudson Pump jumped on board with their support and because of them each month the first responder Wolf Den Inductee receives a gift of $250.
