Sac City, IA

      In May Horizons was invited to participate in a Resource Fair.  This was an event where a number of agencies, dedicated to help lower income families and persons in need, were all available in one location to meet and talk with people.      

     There was a nice turn-out of agencies and people and it gave everyone an opportunity to talk about their needs and see that there were possibly organizations that could be of help to them.     Our Horizons booth had a number of people stop and talk to us about our different projects.  We had brochures and our County Resource booklets available, and people staffing the booth that had information about the five Horizons projects:   senior center, resource center, mentoring program, scholarship program, and volunteer program.    

     It was great seeing everyone trying to work together to accomplish the same goal – alleviating poverty.  People working together and sharing ideas is so much more productive than trying to go it alone.
