Mission Statement
Our mission is to enable older residents of Central Seattle to participate in an intergenerational community that shares companionship, knowledge, experience and services with each other so living is easier and more joyful. We offer members a harmonious blend of shared social and cultural activities, community engagement, and health and in-home services—all designed to foster belonging, security and contribution.
About This Cause
Wider Horizons is a non-profit membership organization that’s all about aging gracefully at home for as long as possible. We build warm and lasting friendships, forming connections with each other by socializing and giving and receiving neighborly services. We do the things that many close-knit families and friends do together: dinners, social events, rides to the doctor or the airport when needed, light home repairs, help with gardening and computer issues, and the like. We have fun together; we take care of each other; we learn new things; we have adventures; we feel engaged and worthy. Wider Horizons is especially helpful to people new to town and without close-by family. It’s also an easy way to find out about helpful resources. From a broader perspective, our neighborhoods benefit when elders are vibrant and show pride and interest in the community. We are part of a national network of similar organizations known as "villages" (as in, "it takes a village to care for an elder"): www.vtvnetwork.org
