Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Human Services, Personal Social Services
Mission: Hudson valley honor flight (hvhf) honors american veterans for all their sacrifices. We transport these heroes, at no cost to them, to washington, d. C. To visit their memorials.
Programs: We charter aircraft and leave from stewart international airport in newburgh, ny as well as westchester county airport in white plains, ny with veterans to visit washington, dc multiple times annually. This activity is performed by volunteers/guardians. We are a local hub of the national honor flight network (which consists of over 100 independent non-profit "hubs" across america). Each of these hubs is required to be independent of the national network and receive their own tax exempt status from the internal revenue service. Hvhf serves: orange, ulster, sullivan, westchester, rockland, putnam, dutchess, and pike counties of new york and pennsylvania. We also consider serving veterans from surrounding counties as well. This covers the entire area of new york's hudson valley from new york city to the south, to albany to the north. First priority is given to world war ii veterans but we will also be accepting terminally ill veterans from other wars. We plan to take all veterans from other wars on future flights. We depart stewart international airport and westchester county airport for a send-off ceremony and hero's welcome. This amazing one-day trip has a unique itinerary designed to give our veterans the complete honor flight experience.
