Fire Closes McKenna House
McKenna House is temporarily closed after being severely damaged by fire on March 29, 2022. Residents are being placed elsewhere until the building can be restored and reopened. The residents have immediate need for food, transportation, clothing and other personal items. If you’d like to help these men whose trauma was exacerbated by the fire, please consider a donation. Gifts also will be used to refurbish McKenna House so it can be reopened.
