The three finalists are Megan Turner who works with Lakelands Primary School P&C to raise funds, Ma Rollo who is fighting to end homelessness in WA and Amber Gilkes who is generating awareness of XYY syndrome and supporting sufferers.
As a voting incentive, one voter will be chosen at random to win a $250 Lakelands voucher.
The Hero with the most votes will win a $2500 Visa Card and be announced at the official launch ceremony on Thursday, June 22.
Lakelands retail manager Christine Gerstmayr said the campaign was about recognising the great people in the community.
“We are joining their community so it’s important for us to get to know them better,’’ she said.
Lakelands will include a Coles supermarket, a Kmart discount department store, an Aldi supermarket and Coles Express and 38 specialty food and service stores.
