Our Services

Soup Kitchen

Location: 224 South 8th Street
Hours: Monday-Friday from Noon-1pm

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 Street in Quincy
Hours: Sundays from 2-4pm and Wednesdays from 10:30am-12:30pm

We are a client-choice pantry which means that instead of a fixed box of items, our clients 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.

Addicts Victorious

Location: 224 South 8th Street

Support is ALWAYS available and meeting times are as followed:
Mondays:   7-8p Support Group meeting
Tuesdays:   7-8p Support Group meeting
Thursdays: 4-5p Women’s Support Group meeting 
                     5-6p Men’s Support Group meeting

Addicts Victorious is a Christ-centered organization in which people help people, through God’s power, to receive salvation, deliverance, and restoration.

Since 1987, Addicts Victorious has been helping people overcome their everyday problems, fears, and addictive behaviors. This is done through the use of support group meetings, a four-day Biblical counseling program, and individual counseling.

At Addicts Victorious we have found a prescription for addiction. Through the power of Jesus Christ, any addiction can be completely broken. Hundreds of people have been set free from addictions such as:

  • alcohol
  • drugs
  • eating disorders
  • gambling
  • sexual/pornography
  • smoking

Problem thinking we can help with

In today’s world, it can be hard to have a good attitude. But, through God’s word, the Bible, it is possible to walk in victory and enjoy your life.

Horizons is blessed with some of the best staff, who are more like family.  Today were highlighting one of our Kitchen Managers, Tisha Reeves.

Tell us a little about yourself....
I come from a small little river town Louisiana, MO. My grandpa was a commercial fisherman so I learned at a very early age to appreciate the values of mature and simple things.

When did you join Horizons and whats your role?
I came to Horizons in 2016, however was hired as a kitchen manager in September of 2017.

Scripture you lean on...
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

God moment at Horizons
I honestly feel like everyday has a God moment in it.  However, the one that stands out the most is the following: It was around Christmas and one of our guests little girls had gotten a used pair of boots and was so excited. As she shared I found out they were currently living in their car, with no money for anything, let alone Christmas. The little girl shared she was gonna wrap the boots to open on Christmas. As I shared the story with a local group of volunteers, who chose to take Christmas party funds to help others through Horizons, they wanted to do even more. From my understanding they funded a hotel room and helped the mother get into the YWCA program. God definitely changed several lives that day!

Unpopular opinion about food...
Never again will I try oysters!

Invited three people to lunch at Horizons, who are they?
Even though all three have passed Id invite Grandma Leila, mom, and my Aunt Ceney so they could see what all their teaching skills of cooking has blessed me with today.

Tishas coworkers say she is....
fun, dedicated, compassionate, fervent, bold, a leader, spunky.
