Our HFF Anniversary Tribute

ByTom Atkinson

Monday September 7th 2020

On this day a year ago our lives were forever changed.

We must remember those who have lost so much and honor those who risked their lives and fought to keep the flames at bay. We share with the community stories of heroism and hope to help in the healing process for both the teller and the listener.

We are resilient. We are steadfast. We are McKenzie strong.

The Board, Staff and Volunteers of The McKenzie Community Development Corporation
