The focus on poverty in Rochester has highlighted the struggle that many families have in simply getting around: to work, to child care, to school. Now we shift the focus to veterans living not in Rochester, but in rural parts of our area. They are in real trouble when it comes to transportation.
We hear some tough stories, while looking at how local organizations are working to change that. Our guests:
- Jason Skinner, director of veteran services for Livingston County Veteran Services
- Jessica Pierce, program director for the Faith in Action program at Catholic Charities of Livingston County
- Jennifer Gibson, director of development for the Veterans Outreach Center
- Sean Smith, mentoring coordinator for the Battle Buddy program at the Veterans Outreach Center
- Deb Palumbos, director of the Retired and Senior Volunteer program (RSVP) for Lifespan
- Fran Murphy, Navy veteran
