Editor’s Note: This series of stories will follow Peekskill Regeneration Farm through the growing season. It is funded by a grant from the Dominican Sisters of Hope Ministry Trust Fund.
Building was the major theme for Men’s Day at Peekskill’s Regeneration Farm on June 28. The men, and one of the men’s young sons, had gathered to build a wash station. In the process, they also helped build a stronger community.
The men sawed, hammered, and assembled. They talked, they ate, they played games. When the men left the farm that beautiful late June day, they had a renewed sense of community, and the farm had a much-needed wash station.
