Luncheon Fundraiser

A Recipe for Hope

At Pathways Community Center, we believe that the right ingredients—compassion, collaboration, and opportunity—can transform lives.


Join us for A Recipe for Hope, a special fundraising drop-in luncheon supporting our mission and launching an exciting new program that will pave a new path toward self-sufficiency.

At Pathways Community Center, your sponsorship supports real people—those on the journey from survival to stability. This year’s luncheon introduces Recipe for Hope, our new culinary workforce development program that provides training, mentorship, and paid catering opportunities for those we serve.



Your partnership fuels transformation, not only for individuals—but for the partners and programs working every day under one roof to move people toward self-sufficiency.
