NEWTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Every Wednesday, Rodney Wyatt is readying his troop of volunteers for the weekly food giveaway at his nonprofit called Salute 2 Service.
"We provide groceries and staples for veterans and the community as well," said Wyatt. Each week, boxes full of fruits, vegetables and meats are distributed. "There's a great need for that," he said. Wyatt founded the nonprofit back in 2013 and serves as the executive director. "We want to make Salute 2 Service a hub of services for veterans and families," he said. "We provide food, and clothing, connect them to temporary to permanent housing." Wyatt says the goal is "to take care of the total veteran," and it's all part of a much broader mission to "leave no veteran behind."
