The Pave the Way Campaign, launched in 2022, has made incredible progress! Thanks to this initiative, we successfully built the Forever Homestead Community Center and recently secured funding to complete the remaining capital infrastructure projects. These include expanding electrical and heating in every building, paving throughout the property, and restoring our historic barns with new doors, windows, and siding—ensuring they stand strong for generations to come.
Stay tuned for exciting updates as we bring these projects to completion!

The “Forever Homestead” Community Center
We call it the Forever Homestead (not because it took 7 years) but, it signifies we are here to stay forever serving our community. The project was a $1,275,000 renovation and addition to a 200-year-old historic farmhouse located on a wide waters of the Erie Canal. Its new purpose serves as our year-round Community Center, which allows us to keep programs on-site during the winter, and expand enrollments to our mission-based programs. Since November 15, 2023, it has created new innovative opportunities with multiple classrooms, gathering spaces, a teaching kitchen, and a 5 bedroom residence. This project was supported by 100’s of grants & donations.
