On this episode, Kevin sits down with Susan and Lonnie Sherman, co-founders of General Needs, to discuss how their mission began by bringing underwear, socks, and T-shirts to homeless veterans at the Northport VA shelter and grew into a larger effort providing boots, coats, beds, furniture, dental care, home repairs, and dignity to veterans in need. Susan and Lonnie share powerful stories from shelters, explain the challenges veterans face when transitioning into housing, discuss their Welcome Home apartment project, work with police and fire departments, support from partners like P.C. Richard & Son, their upcoming General Needs gala, and the continued need for volunteers, donations, and community support to help veterans across Long Island, New York City, and beyond.
