​
2025 and Beyond Goals - We continue our outreach to partner with additional nonprofit community organizations who identify individuals and families in need. We have seen an increased number of individuals and families lacking transportation to our Canastota warehouse as some partner organizations are precluded from providing transportation. As we have potential volunteer drivers, we hope to obtain funding to acquire a vehicle for transport and, or delivery. Our goal is to continue to provide free essential items for an increased number of families and individuals.
Community non-profit Partners - Nuhorizons has developed ongoing working relationships with other area nonprofit organizations who share our mission of helping those in need. Our partner organizations identify those in need and assist us in coordinating visits to our warehouse. These collaborative efforts assist the Nuhorizons Redistribution Center Program in distributing a wide variety of free items to those in need. To date, Nuhorizons has worked with the following organizations. Staff from many of these organizations have toured our warehouse and at times accompany those in need to our warehouse. (although not a requirement):
Liberty Resources (numerous offices)
Community Action Program for Madison County, lnc. (CAP)

Our community nonprofit partners continuously inform us that we are filling a 'gap' in needed services to those in need. For example, often an organization may help with housing needs, but do not have the discretionary funds or necessary transportation to provide the wide assortment of free items available at our warehouse.

LATEST NEWS
The Nuhorizons Redistribution Center Program provides an assortment of FREE essential items to individuals in need throughout Central New York.
Covid-19 has produced a recession where those living at or below the poverty line have been affected the hardest and have all they can do to supply their families with life’s essentials (shelter, food, and clothing). Further those attempting to rebuild their lives and start over (such as victims of domestic violence, individuals recovering from substance abuse, returning citizens and the homeless) are further challenged. Adding to the financial stress is higher cost of food and products as well as the higher utility bills due to spending more time at home. Individuals leaving shelters, rehab centers, half-way houses and transitional living facilities in many cases do not have (nor the funds to acquire) basic products and everyday items. According to the most recently published reports from the U.S. Census Bureau website it is estimated that 124,547 individuals are living below the poverty line representing over 14% of the residents of Onondaga, Oswego, Madison, Oneida, and Herkimer counties.
Nuhorizons has aligned itself with a national organization through which products will be acquired by Nuhorizons and shipped to our warehouse in Canastota, New York from which Nuhorizons will distribute products free of charge to those in need. To help in the direct distribution to the needy, we will align ourselves with other charitable organizations that can assist Nuhorizons in the direct distribution of free products to those in need.
Nuhorizons Executive Director Stephen Bodnar stated, “We are excited to exceed our goals for this program and to be able to help those in need throughout our community. We anticipate having a wide range of free products including clothing and footwear, household products, toys, baby items, health and care, sports, electronics, and school supplies. If any local organizations would like to help us in the free distribution to their clients, please contact the Program Distribution Coordinator Kaitlyn Carpenter at yournuhorizons@gmail.com.”
