After a senseless act of violence in our beloved Rodgers Forge, our friend Mark Mckenzie is facing several surgeries and a long recovery. The outpouring of support from this community has been incredible and it is apparent that so many people want to help the Mckenzie family. Their house is overflowing with food so we thought it made sense to channel direct donations to them so they can use the funds for whatever they need during this difficult time. Thank you for all the love and please keep Mark, Laura, Aislinn, Ryan and Finn and their extended family in your prayers.
