There is no way to adequately thank the men and women who sacrificed so much for our freedom and safety. But we can offer them a second chance – an opportunity to be successful members of a supportive community! The staff and volunteers at Rumshock Veterans Foundation are working to do all we can to offer veterans the opportunity to improve their physical, mental, and emotional health as well as reconnect with society through meaningful activities. There are five components to the Foundation’s sustainable program: 1) Rumshock Village, a tiny residential community of affordable housing for veterans to be located in Port Jervis, NY; 2) Hydroponic Farming, maintained by Village residents; 3) Transportation, to assist Village residents in making appointments to healthcare providers and other necessities; 4) E-Waste Recycling, involving the recovery of materials to be used in future production; and 5) Canine Companionship, for needed emotional support.
Students in the construction class at the Orange-Ulster BOCES campus, under the direction of Corey Moore, are building the 10 tiny homes (20×20′) in a prefabrication style. Later they will be assembled at the property in Port Jervis, NY. Rumshock Veterans Foundation, Rumshockvf.org, is a 501 (c) (3) organizations and all donations are deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
