Our Mission:
The mission of NHCG is to provide help and support to those who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own; people who come from all walks of life, political affiliation, religious persuasion or ethnic identity. The services provided are accomplished through the NHCG Program which secures free food, goods, school supplies, children incentives and other basic necessities of life. NHCG acts as a point of food rescue, collection and redistribution of products to the community. Services provided through the efforts of NHCG are:
Project FIESTA., BACKPACK Program, Scholarship Program, Holiday Program.
Our Programs:
The pimary program offered by NCHG is "FIESTA" (Family Incentives Equals Students Taking Action). Project FIESTA provides free groceries and school supplies to needy families with elementary school children enrolled in the free meals program (Title I Schools). Low-Income parents attend educational classes, then they receive free goods and commit to help their children read and excel in school. Parents also make a commitment to help their children achieve perfect attendance and to excel academically. This helps bring about a school, teacher, family relationship together in an uplifting environment. Results have proven that getting parents involved, giving free products, which help with the family budgets has a very positive impact for the families, the children, school attendance, grades and overall attitude about learning and their school community.
Through its outreach programs New Horizons nourishes a better understanding of other services available within the community, and how Parents, Teachers and Caregivers in their own special way can better serve and support each other to strengthen the fiber of the community
What we do:
New Horizons Caregivers Group, (NHCG), provides thousands of dollars of product every month to low-income families and hundreds of new backpacks filled with school supplies every year. These backpacks ensure that at-risk children have all the necessary tools to help them feel good about themselves and that they are ready to succeed in school.
In 2014 NHCG provided over $4,000 in scholarships helping low-income students be able to attend College.
The NHCG Holiday Program offers extra "holiday" groceries and gifts to families, relieving the extra stress and anxiety that comes with holiday demands. Thousands of dollars in holiday groceries are given along with hundreds of toys and gifts cards to families in need.
NHCG partners with Equity & Access (the homeless liaison's for HLPUSD) twice a year the HLP schools in November collect non perishable food item and in April they have cereal drive. During the summer months families need more help while school is out and they do not have access to free breakfast or lunches.

In Summary:

The more we understand what others are doing in the community, the better we can serve humanity.
