A History of Compassion and Support

Founded with a deep commitment to strengthening communities, Everyone Needs a Steve began as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to reducing veteran suicide rates and providing essential services to those in need. Our journey began with a simple mission to support veterans, elderly individuals, and those with disabilities by offering free community service projects like yard work, raking leaves, and snow removal. Over time, we have expanded our efforts to raise awareness around the critical mental health challenges veterans face, aiming to reduce the alarming suicide rates within this group. Through advocacy, service, and compassion, we continue to empower individuals by providing unwavering support and resources, creating a society where everyone is valued and equipped to thrive.
