Linda Johnston, chief culture officer of Renewal by Anderson said, “But when you think of what this community is gonna help, it’s gonna help veterans. And veterans have sacrificed so much for us, their families sacrificed so much to give us everything we need, and you never want to hear of a veteran that’s homeless.”
