Stewart AFB, Newburgh
STEWART AIRPORT – Allegiant Air will be adding two additional routes from New York Stewart International Airport later this year. They are in addition to the current Myrtle Beach and Florida routes served from the Newburgh area airport.
The Savannah, Georgia and Destin, Florida routes were originally scheduled for 2020 but were put on hold because of the pandemic.
Savannah, Georgia will be served via Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport beginning on May 26. Destin service via Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport will begin on June 13.
The Destin flights will operate twice weekly while the Savannah service will operate four times weekly.
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.
