About Home Horizon

Home Horizon is a charitable organization in Collingwood, Ontario, serving the South Georgian Bay communities.

We have been helping homeless women and children in our community for the past 11 years. This past year we built the Barbara Weider House a 6-bedroom, 7-bed facility for homeless youth. The facility provides youth facing homelessness with safe housing, coupled with access to counseling and social and life skills programs to help them successfully rebuild their lives and transition to independent living and adulthood.

The goal is to support vulnerable youth in rebuilding their lives and integrating back into their communities, as opposed to continuing down a path of homelessness that may lead to larger problems.

This year 100% of the funds raised are going to support our youth program.

Please consider a donation, we have an incredible opportunity to drive change in our community and give these vulnerable youth hope, opportunity and a chance to succeed.
