Community Makeover: McKenna Farms [Photo Gallery Added]
This is McKenna Farms. Jesse is a physical therapist and a horse owner. When she realized the need for more occupational and speech therapy centers in Atlanta, she ceized the opportunity to make a difference on the west side of Atlanta, and to merge 2 of her life’s passions.
After purchasing a friend’s horse farm, she began McKenna Farms where dozens of volunteers and therapists now work with children from all over the area.
This weekend, teams from West Ridge and a local football team are building a retaining wall (80-feet long) to make possible a future covered arena, and to keep the current barn from washing away. They are also trenching to improve water drainage from the riding fields.
A team from Church @ The Ridge is building a huge sensory. Very cool.
I think a team is also clearing a horse trail through the woods.
No small potatoes at this site. I’ll add some more photos later that show more of the facility.
