“With faith powerful kindness and humility, Mrs. McKnight always shows gratitude toward her team and she is a shining beacon for all who learn about her and her work. As a retired preschool teacher, I praise their youth and seniors projects as I used to bring my classes to senior centers and witnessed the beauty and the unique value of intergenerational connections. Thank you Mrs. McKnight for making such a tremendous difference in the lives of so many people and for always going the extra mile to help people, as you have done during the pandemic.”
