Homeless shelters in Okaloosa County have many needs during Christmas

Crestview Area Shelter for the Homeless While the Crestview Area Shelter for the Homeless has more than a dozen clients staying at the facility, it provides food and assistance to more than 60 homeless people throughout the week and serves as a cold weather shelter. “They all want hoodies or sweatshirts, jackets, gloves, hand warmers, knit stocking caps and ChapStick,” Ann Sprague, executive director of the Crestview shelter, said Wednesday. “They would also love to have gift cards, such as $5 cards to McDonald’s and Taco Bell.” Sprague said while the Florida Department of Health in Okaloosa County gave the shelter numerous masks to help protect their clients during the COVID-19 pandemic, the shelter is in need of large and extra-large masks.
