Serving Our Veterans
With Dignity
Don't Just Thank a Vet,
Help a Vet
Support Our Mission
Don't Just Give Thanks, Give Back
Create a Better Future For American Veterans
Long Island is filled with compassionate community members who are committed to the well-being of our Veterans. We witness the veracity of this statement daily, working alongside volunteers who help Veterans throughout Suffolk and Nassau counties.
Every Veteran Deserves to Live with Dignity
Every veteran deserves more than just our gratitude; they deserve the assurance of a life without hardship. Supporting their essential needs is the least we can do to demonstrate our thanks for their service.

Testimonials
“General Needs does so much for so many, in the way of getting products to individuals that truly need them. They don’t just give people articles of clothing or other items that are useful, but they distribute quality items.”

General Needs invited Rolling Thunder Chapter 6 NY to a BBQ with our Veterans and “Out Of The Rough”. We sat and ate a delicious BBQ dinner cooked by the fantastic volunteers on the veranda at the Club House at NorthPort VA Golf course with our Heroes. It was so wonderful. Thank you Lonnie and Susan for everything you do

General Needs does a superb job of interfacing with the veteran community. They find individuals with needs by blending their services with groups like the Association of Mental Health and Wellness, Ronkonkoma and Rotary Clubs.
