Advocates involving as many people as possible in community revitalization work.

COFFE president Victoria Messner admits that the coalition was met with trepidation at first. “For the first year that COFFE was around, there was some hesitation from long-timers who weren’t directly involved or didn’t know the Board of Directors personally,” says Messner. However, skepticism diminished as the group put their plans into action. “The only way to change the perception was to get as many people involved as possible and to just keep working, knowing that over time, people would see that we’re trying to do good,” says Messner.
