Peekskill's Tuesday Paige McDonald Helps 'Wherever There Is A Need'

PEEKSKILL, NY — Without community leaders, Peekskill-Cortlandt Patch wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Kathy Toscano, a Peekskill-Cortlandt Patch reader who nominated Tuesday Paige McDonald.

How do you know this community leader?

She is my sister.

What does this community leader do?

She is the executive director of the Peekskill Youth Bureau.

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

She should be recognized because she does so much service in the community. Here is just some of her service: For eight years, she has coordinated the Back to School Supply giveaway in Peekskill with community partners, distributing over 1,000 book bags and supplies; for four years she coordinated the Feeding Westchester Food Truck; she can be counted on to put Christmas toy drives together for the youth and senior proms for the senior citizens.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

She gives so much of herself, wherever there is a need. She is humble.

This content is brought to our community in partnership with T-Mobile.
