Our Services
Soup Kitchen
Location: 224 South 8TH Street
Hours: Mon-Fri noon-1pm, Sun 5-6pm
Due to Covid precautions, we will be handing our hot lunches to-go at the north entrance door.
We serve delicious, nutritious meals each weekday to those in need in Quincy, IL.
For many individuals, their meal at Horizons is their only source of fruits and vegetables. Our nutrition goal is to optimize every available resource for fresh fruits and vegetables, and in turn work to prevent obesity and other chronic diseases.
Horizons and our partners are working together to create a healthy, thriving community.
Food Pantry
Location: 224 South 8TH ST
Hours: Sun 2pm-4pm & Mon 10:30 am-12:30pm
To create a safe environment for our guests and volunteers, clients will be physically distanced inside Horizons and will wait outside when our pantry reaches capacity.
We are a client-choice pantry which means that instead of a fixed box of items, the client can select from a wide variety of foods that best fit their needs.
We’ve doubled the size of our pantry which allows us to more variety and accept larger donations.

Moonlight Ride for Hunger 2021
Saturday July 31st, 2021
The Moonlight Ride for Hunger is a family-friendly, community event that benefits the Horizons Soup Kitchen & Food Pantry. The routes take you through some of Quincy’s finest trails.
Our theme this year is CHRISTMAS IN JULY! Our trail will be lit up with light displays that are normally seen around Quincy during Christmas. We will be lighting up the night throughout All American Park and along the Bill Klingner Bike Trail! We will have free t-shirts for each person participating in the ride. A special bonus this year will be a “Christmas Cookie Crawl” for families to participate in. There will be food and fun throughout Clat Adams and All American Parks! Don’t forget to decorate up your wagons and strollers to wheel them around!
This event is presented by WGCA 88.5 FM THE MIX, Rethink Media Group, Red Cactus, Madison & Davis Bicycles and is sponsored by Blessing Health System.
