Donations for McKenzie Community Now Available at Marcola Youth Center

ByTom Atkinson September 20, 2020October 29, 2020

All McKenzie evacuees are welcome to come and stock up on lots of things such as clothes, shoes, food, baby and pet supplies, and much more. These items have been specially donated for our community, so as Melanie Brite, the unofficial Mayor of Blue River, says, “come and get what you need!” (but see below)

This is a small volunteer operation currently based at the Marcola Youth Center, located on 92194 Marcola Rd. From tomorrow (Monday 21 September) they will be running on an appointment basis. Please call Toni Lynn on (541) 570 7276 before you head down there to arrange one. Plans are to move the donations to a more central facility in the near future, and we will update this post once a new location is chosen.
