Every Dollar Makes a Difference
We rely on the generous financial support of the community to help us serve the individuals and families who are in need of our help.
Your gift to Horizons provides resources that make an immediate impact to:
- ensure that seniors in our community continue to receive nutritious meals which allows them to stay in their homes through our Meals on Wheels department.
- those who are struggling to make ends meet have the education and debt management assistance available to make solid financial decisions with the help of our Financial Health and Wellness department.
- provide affordable night and weekend transportation to work, school, or life skills classes during times when the fixed route city buses do not operate through NTS.
Charitable Deductions
Give to get! Even if you don’t plan to itemize deductions on your next tax return, the CARES Act allows you to make a $300 charitable gift and then deduct that $300 on your 2020 taxes.
