Mission Statement
Silver Horizons does incredible work – helping senior citizens survive through these difficult times, plus enjoy a better quality of life. The seniors we help live in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, from Santa Fe to Belen, and from Tijeras/Edgewood to Laguna (with most living in Albuquerque). Silver Horizons helps with everyday minor home repairs, including yard cleanups and grab bar installations. We also help with important household bills such as utility bills, landline telephone and Internet bills, and even with vet bills so a senior does not have to lose their buddy because of a basic veterinary bill. Our Senior Food Markets provide about 50 pounds of free groceries, including toiletries and pet food. Our program provides about two-weeks’ worth of groceries, and these items are distributed primarily through drive-up/pickup markets, deliveries to senior living facilities, in-person shopping, and deliveries to homebound seniors.
About This Cause
The seniors we assist are drowning: they are falling behind on important household bills, their homes are falling into disrepair – this happens faster than you might think: first it’s a broken door lock, then a window, then problems with their heater, and so on. But probably most importantly, too many seniors simply do not have enough food to eat. Struggling seniors, often with mobility problems and declining health, can’t simply go back to work. “Tightening their belts” isn’t feasible when living on $700-$900 a month. Life isn’t going to get better without some assistance…it will only get worse. The ongoing increases in food prices are destabilizing budgets and forcing low-income families to make impossible choices between food and other necessities. Now think about the seniors raising grandchildren. 40% of the seniors Silver Horizons helps are having to buy school supplies, and cover other expenses related to raising a child – all on an income that wasn’t enough to cover the senior’s own basic living expenses. After more than 40 years of serving senior citizens, today Silver Horizons is facing an overwhelming number of seniors asking for help. Any support you could offer would be greatly appreciated!
