Mission Statement: New Horizons Shelter and Outreach Centers provide safety and services to adults and families who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and harassment so that they can make decisions about the lives in a supportive, nonjudgmental, and empowering atmosphere. We promote the concepts of non-violence and equality through intervention, prevention and education. Philosophy New Horizons Shelter and Outreach Centers oppose all forms of dominance over others. Our collaborative community effort is an integral part of a broader social justice movement. We support the right of people of all ages, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, national origin, social class or differing abilities to live without fear, abuse and violence. We believe batterers must be held accountable for their actions and that systems must be responsible to the victim. Breaking Silence. Empowering Lives.

The Outreach Program engages volunteers in business, civic organization, faith based organizations, schools, government agencies, and other nonprofits to package nutritious meals for the hungry. Outreach is unique in that it has 3 meals created for domestic use in the U.S. Those meals were designed by Iowa State University's Food Science department to be nutritious and tasty. A meal packaging event is a tremendous way to engage people of all ages in the fight against hunger in a festive and satisfying way.
