Bravo!After losing his home in the Coffey Park neighborhood to the Tubbs fire in 2017, Jeff Okrepkie founded the Coffey Strong community group to help his fellow neighbors organize, rise from the ashes, and rebuild. He also traveled to Redding and Paradise to help those in need with their fire recovery. Jeff turned the darkest time in his life into advocacy for people devastated by natural disasters, especially wildfires. Because of his dedication go to above and beyond to help his fellow community members, Jeff Okrepkie has been named the 2019 Disaster Services Hero. To celebrate Jeff and our other extraordinary heroes, please join us for the 2019 Heroes Breakfast on May 17th. Tickets can be purchased here: buff.ly/2FKeMoo #CalNWHeroes
