New Horizons was started in '78 by women who knew abused women needed services and a temporary emergency shelter. By '87 several agencies sponsored its existence for 7 counties housed in the La Crosse County building until it outgrew that space. In '93 New Horizons moved to its present locale.
The shelter is now staffed every day, 24 hrs/day to be able to provide emergency shelter and food to domestic violence victims both women and children. Besides donated clothing and personal care items being available there is also support and advocacy in addition to programming.
Services include:
- 24 Hour Crisis Line
- Shelter
- Outreach Centers
- Located in the City of La Crosse and the Town of Whitehall
- Support Groups
- Resource Advocacy
- Legal Advocacy
- Youth Advocacy
- Diversity Outreach Advocacy
- Transitional Housing Advocacy
- Volunteer Coordination
- Donation Center
- Community Education

| Special to Thanks to ALL the Sponsors |
Folks were very generous with both time and talents not only with the amounts bid for both the silent and live auction items Friday evening. Thanks to numerous sponsors for the evening and throughout the year.
As in any non profit, it takes a village and I am glad the city of La Crosse has a place like New Horizons for those that need its services.
UPDATE: Over $12, ooo was raised in this endeavor.
Well done NEW HORIZONS.

They have really grown over the years. It's just sad that the demand for its services seems to be escalating.
