Since our inception, Horizons has uplifted underserved populations, including older adults. We identify the needs of our community and respond.
Through our programs, Meals on Wheels, the Neighborhood Transportation Service (NTS), and the Financial Wellness Center, more people live securely, healthy, and fulfilled. This commitment to community keeps us looking toward new opportunities to enhance lives.

Our Mission
Address the social, financial, and physical/mental health needs of older adults to help them live better, healthier lives.
Our Vision
Create a welcoming, vibrant, and trusted space and improve the overall health of older adults in Linn County.
Community Need is Now
Since the Witwer center was destroyed by the 2008 flood, Cedar Rapids has lacked a dedicated senior center. With one of the highest proportions of older adults living alone in Iowa. A dedicated hub that offers social connections, health programs, and financial education is not just desirable—it is essential.
Together, we have an opportunity to uplift older adults in a way that respects their wisdom, realizes their potential, and improves their future.
Our Campus
From a contemporary coffee shop and fitness area to education sessions, this center will be a hub of energy and support. By maximizing our current Horizons building, the B. Young Center promises to be an affordable, accessible option for our older population.
Backed by vigorous interest, enthusiasm, and support, the B. Young Center will be a revitalizing resource for older adults and a vibrant addition to a growing neighborhood.
The B. Young Center is what our community needs-connecting the dots to ensure a happier, healthier future for the largest population of people in our area. Like open arms signaling a warm embrace, this center will create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who enters.
