Join Hands Day 2016 was celebrated by a group of both young and old Kenosha, Wise., residents, who joined not only their hands but minds as well. WPA Branch 705, along with Cathy Nevin, director of the Starfish Youth Partnership of Kenosha, coordinated this year's effort. Inner city youths, along with volunteer adults, spent many hours mulching a path to a community garden. After the work was complete, a local farmer talked to the group. She explained how all sorts of different foods make it from the field to your dinner table. After a light snack, everyone chipped in to paint over graffiti on some urban fences. By the end of the day, everyone had much more pride in their community, thanks to the generous support of WPA.
