Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
As founder of Cantor Scott's Animal Rescue Center and a Police Chaplain for the Voorhees Police Department, he is on the Camden County Task Force during this COVID-19 period. He is in charge of answering all referrals to families and individuals needing pet food due to stay-at-home regulations, illness, or unemployment — and each day, he delivers pet food all over Camden County to residents. Each day he travels on deliveries to make sure all pets in Camden County are cared for.

I work with Cantor Borsky's Rescue in the capacity of rehabilitating and providing recuperation care for all of the cats in our shelter, so I work with Cantor Borsky each and every day.

He is a man of many hats — but no matter what capacity he is serving in at any given moment, he is truly serving those in need in Camden County. It is for these reasons that I enthusiastically nominate Cantor Scott Borsky.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
He tirelessly serves the community in whatever capacity is needed.
