Urgent: Volunteer Meals on Wheels Drivers Needed!

Introducing

The B. Young Center

Formerly known as Our Place, the B. Young Center will be trusted space for older adults to gather, learn, and thrive.

Since our inception, Horizons has uplifted underserved populations, including older adults. We identify the needs of our community and respond.

Our Place is about more than a building. It’s about creating a space where older adults can find friendship, stay active, explore new interests, and feel a true sense of belonging.

Help us make Our Place a reality by contributing to the B. Young Center Public Campaign!

Volunteer Voices

Dana Dinderman has volunteered with Horizons since 2020, finding fulfillment along her route as she delivers meals on a weekly basis.

“They are not just clients I deliver to, but friends, adopted grandparents and parents, and people that have become so important to me. My heart is full after delivering meals each week.”
