Horizon West Rotary donates $2,500 to Matthew’s Hope Ministries

April 14, 2025
At Horizon West Rotary, one of our core values is supporting those who are making a real difference in the lives of others. We believe that when we come together as a community, we can uplift and empower those who need it most—and the organizations that serve them. One group that truly embodies this spirit is Matthew’s Hope Ministries . When the temperatures dropped earlier this year and many in our area were struggling to stay warm and safe, Matthew’s Hope didn’t hesitate. They stepped up in a big way, providing shelter, supplies, and support to over 100 individuals experiencing homelessness. Their dedication and compassion during such a critical time was nothing short of inspiring. As a club, we knew we wanted to do more than just say “thank you.” We wanted to take action. That’s why we’re proud to stand beside Matthew’s Hope Ministries and lend our support to the amazing work they do every day. When people care enough to make a difference, it deserves to be recognized—and reinforced by a community that believes in them. Together, we’re building a stronger, more compassionate Horizon West.
