PASSION TO SERVE: WYNIKA HENDRIX Wynika Hendrix has always had a place in her heart for the first responders of Oxford. As she was growing up, the Oxford Police Department always protected her neighborhood, keeping her safe. When Wynika was older, during a small house fire, the Oxford Fire Department was there within minutes, easing her nerves. Her heart goes out to the men and women that risk their lives daily to serve us, and she wanted to help them in return. She stated, “I believe we were created to serve not only God, but others as well. Giving is great, but giving from the heart is even greater. My only goal is to have a positive impact on other people’s lives. I pray that when people see me, they see God in me.” When given the opportunity to partner with her company, Country Financial, Wynika chose Oxford for its Operation Helping Heros initiative. The City of Oxford wants to thank Wynika Hendrix for her generous donation to the Oxford Fire Department and the Oxford Police Department.
