    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  
         For many individuals and families, filing taxes can be a complicated and costly process. Between shifting tax laws, expensive preparation fees and confusing requirements, the process can deter people from filing altogether or reduce the refunds they depend on.
         &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           In York County, a volunteer-driven program is working to change that.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, known as VITA, offers free tax preparation services to eligible taxpayers, helping ensure they receive the full refunds and credits they have earned. Operated locally out of
           &#xD;
      &lt;a href="https://www.pathwaysyc.org/" target="_blank"&gt;&#xD;
        
            Pathways Community Center
           &#xD;
      &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
      
           , and Winthrop University the service is staffed entirely by IRS-certified volunteers and is designed to make tax filing accessible, accurate and free. VITA also partners with the City of Rock Hill and United Way
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “We help the community file tax returns electronically, and we double-check everything to make sure taxpayers receive all the credits they’re entitled to,” said site coordinator Bill Perry. “There’s no charge,  we’re 100% volunteers.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           VITA sites generally serve individuals who earn about $69,000 or less, as well as people with disabilities, limited English-speaking taxpayers and those who need assistance navigating the filing process. Services include preparation of basic returns, W-2 income, most 1099 forms and access to key credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. Some locations also assist with prior-year returns.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           For many residents, avoiding preparation fees can make a meaningful difference.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Erin Freel, a York County resident and single mother, said she first learned about VITA while working at City Hall and has relied on it since.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “I thought it was incredible that there was a place people could go and get help without being charged,” she said. “A lot of private tax services charge too much, especially when you have additional credits.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Those added fees can cut into refunds that families rely on for essential expenses.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “As a single mom who doesn’t receive child support, the child tax credit is a big deal,” Freel said. “But some places charge more just to process those credits, the same money you actually need.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Using VITA has allowed her to keep more of her refund and better support her children.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “Having a free service means I get to keep what I’ve worked for,” she said. “That allows me to provide more for my kids. That’s a big deal.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           The York County VITA site recently relocated from City Hall to Pathways Community Center, a move that coordinators say has improved access and increased participation.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “Being at Pathways has made it easier for the community to come in and get services,” Perry said. “It’s a space that’s already centered around serving people, so it’s a natural fit.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Since the move, the site has seen an increase in the number of taxpayers seeking assistance. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Still, challenges remain. Assistant coordinator Janice Louttit said one of the most common issues is that filers arrive without the necessary documentation.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           To complete a return, taxpayers are typically required to bring a government-issued photo ID, Social Security cards or ITINs for all household members, income documents such as W-2s or 1099s, a copy of the previous year’s tax return, and banking information for direct deposit. Married couples filing jointly must both be present.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Louttit said recent changes in tax laws have also added complexity for both taxpayers and preparers.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “After COVID, there were a lot of new programs and ongoing changes to the tax code,” she said. “Even recently, some updates were implemented so quickly that people’s documents don’t always reflect what non-taxable W-2 income is like overtime and tips.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Despite those challenges, she said the work remains deeply rewarding.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “When I retired, I knew this is what I wanted to do,” Louttit said. “This is my favorite time of the year.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           For taxpayers like Freel, the value of the program goes beyond cost savings.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “It’s a safe environment,” she said. “They’re honest, they explain everything clearly, and they’re there to help. It shouldn’t be complicated.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
        
            During the 2026 tax season VITA processed 5,263 returns representing 2,843 clients.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Though the tax season is now over, the York County VITA site is seeking additional volunteers to meet growing demand. Community members can receive free IRS certification and training for next year, with opportunities to assist in tax preparation, client intake and site support.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Those interested in volunteering for the 2027 tax season are encouraged to connect with the VITA program at Pathways Community Center and help ensure more families can access the support they need.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

           Collective Impact in Action
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           January was a powerful reminder of what can happen when compassion meets action. Across the Pathways campus, community partners, volunteers, and on-site agencies came together to spread holiday cheer while continuing to provide critical support and services. From meals and outreach efforts to moments of connection and care, the season was filled with hope, generosity, and meaningful impact.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Throughout the month, individuals received the resources they needed to move forward—whether through workforce support, housing assistance, health and recovery services, or simply the encouragement of a community that showed up for them. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Every act of kindness, every shared meal, and every collaborative effort reflected the heart of Pathways. Together, we closed the year by lifting spirits, opening doors, and strengthening the pathways forward for our neighbors and our community.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

         By: Karl Vogl II
         &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           On any given day in Rock Hill, a hot meal can mean far more than nourishment — it can mean dignity, hope and a reminder that someone cares.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           At Pathways Community Center, House of Agape has quietly become a lifeline for individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. What began as a small effort to serve meals out of a garage has grown into a seven-day-a-week ministry dedicated to meeting both the physical and spiritual needs of the community.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           House of Agape seeks to follow the biblical call to be “doers of the word, not hearers only,” providing meals and encouragement to neighbors throughout Rock Hill.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           In a recent interview, trustee Robyn Large, trustee Beth Simmonds, and volunteer Michelle Pittman reflected on the ministry’s beginnings, its current initiatives and what the future may hold.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           According to Large, the inspiration for the ministry began with a simple act of service.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Several members of the ministry previously volunteered with a feeding program in Gastonia, North Carolina, where Associate Pastor Bill Long shared weekly messages while volunteers provided meals and music.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           One moment in particular stayed with them.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “One night a young man thanked Pastor Bill over and over for a hot dog,” Large said. “Pastor Bill told him, ‘It’s just a hot dog.’ The young man responded, ‘If it wasn’t for this hot dog, my son wouldn’t have eaten today.’”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           For Large, that interaction revealed the deeper impact a simple meal can have. Another defining moment soon followed.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “We were in the driveway of our home washing our motorcycles when a friend stopped by,” Large said. “She told us she felt God wanted us to open a ministry like that in Rock Hill.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           At the time, the idea seemed unexpected, but in the weeks that followed, Large said the path forward became clear.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           House of Agape began by serving food one night a week in a garage above the Larges’ home. As the need in the community became more apparent, the ministry expanded to a trailer in a nearby parking lot.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Eventually, what began as a single night of service grew to seven days a week.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Today, the ministry operates out of Pathways Community Center, where expanded space and shared resources have allowed the program to reach even more people.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “We want each person to know they are cared for, they matter, and we would love to introduce them to the ONE from where all hope comes from,” Pittman said.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           The move also strengthened collaboration with other ministries serving within the Pathways network, including Lifehouse, Bethel, The Haven and Manna House.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           As the ministry has grown, Large and Simmonds say they have also witnessed the harmful impact of misconceptions about the people they serve.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “The homeless or less fortunate are often not seen, or they are treated as if they are less than,” Simmonds said.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Large said many people also assume those experiencing food insecurity must also be homeless or struggling with addiction.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “While that can be true in some cases, it certainly isn’t true for everyone,” Large said. “Food insecurity does not always equate to homelessness or unemployment. Many people who work hard every day still struggle to put food on the table.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Simmonds said acknowledging that reality can be uncomfortable for some.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “People at Agape are impacted physically by the weather – (hot, cold, or rainy), health issues, or the need for clothing or shelter, but they also may be more impacted by feelings of being lonely, weary, broken-hearted, angry, tired, or hopeless,” Pittman said. “So, food is not the only thing they receive at HOA that may impact their life.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Pittman emphasized that at House of Agape everyone that enters also receives hope, acceptance, a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, or even simple smiles and laughter. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           We cannot fix their situation, but we can encourage them, present options and resources, listen to them, and most importantly pray with them,” Pittman said.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           The group also noted that many people are uncomfortable admitting that they, too, are just a paycheck or two away from being in the same circumstances as some of our clients.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Volunteers play a vital role in the work of House of Agape. According to Simmonds, the culture volunteers create — along with the intentional conversations they have with guests — helps ensure every person who walks through the doors feels welcomed and valued.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “The conversations are just as important as the meals,” she said.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           The ministry continues to welcome new volunteers, and both trustees say the program’s impact would not be possible without their dedication.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           While there are currently no formal plans for expansion, Large and Simmonds say they remain confident in the ministry’s direction.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           They believe God is guiding House of Agape exactly where it needs to be — and that the next steps will become clear in time.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
            
              This past month, our community experienced back-to-back winter storms—weather we rarely see in our area. As conditions worsened, Pathways moved quickly into full partnership mode to ensure the safety, dignity, and care of our guests.
             &#xD;
          &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
            
              We live in a world where 
              &#xD;
            &lt;em&gt;&#xD;
              
               collaboration
              &#xD;
            &lt;/em&gt;&#xD;
            
               and 
              &#xD;
            &lt;em&gt;&#xD;
              
               partnership
              &#xD;
            &lt;/em&gt;&#xD;
            
               are words often used, but genuine partnership is far less common. At Pathways, we truly believe in partnership. We recognize that we are all serving the same population, that we all love our community, and that we all want the very best for those we serve. We also understand that each organization has a unique calling—to live out its mission fully without duplicating efforts. During moments of crisis, that shared understanding becomes visible and powerful.
             &#xD;
          &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
            
              As the storms approached, partners came together to plan, communicate, and support one another. We engaged community partners such as the City of Rock Hill, the American Red Cross, and the Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen to help us expand capacity and respond to emerging needs. Shelter partners across the community accepted additional guests to ensure people could get out of the dangerous weather and into safe spaces.
             &#xD;
          &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
            
              On our campus, Pathways staff and volunteers worked tirelessly to clear snow and ice so guests—many with limited mobility—could safely navigate the exterior of the building. Staff members slept on site to ensure uninterrupted care and coverage throughout the storm. The Day Shelter expanded into the auditorium to create additional space and warmth as the number of guests increased.
             &#xD;
          &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
            
              Support flowed in from every direction. Manna House Food Pantry donated food for shelter guests. House of Agape served additional guests and opened their space to accommodate other meals being provided. The Soup Kitchen delivered extra meals. York Electric generously brought meals when the ice storm proved less severe than anticipated. Church partners adjusted quickly, bringing meals early when travel later became unsafe.
             &#xD;
          &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
            
              When church partners could not be physically present to serve or preach, technology allowed us to continue sharing the Word, and our own guests stepped up to prepare meals for one another. For those who chose not to stay in shelter, we provided as much warmth and support as possible.
             &#xD;
          &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
            
              While the storms disrupted daily operations, one thing never changed: our partners never stopped caring, loving, and serving our shared guests.
             &#xD;
          &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
            
              This is the power of partnership—moving, shifting, sharing resources, and working together to serve the people we love.
             &#xD;
          &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
            
              This is the power of our campus.
             &#xD;
          &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

      <title>A Second Chance in the Kitchen: How Community Support Helped Haylea Rebuild</title>
      <link>http://www.pathwaysyc.org/hayleasstory</link>
      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/cda5cb18/dms3rep/multi/Hayley+Graduation.jpg"/&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
    
          On any given night, thousands of women across America experience hardship. For Haylea  Hoke, a mother and recent graduate of York Technical College’s Culinary Workforce Readiness  Program, a pathway toward stability became possible through workforce training rooted in  opportunity and strengthened by a network of community partners committed to walking alongside  her.  
         &#xD;
  &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           An integral part of Haylea’s journey toward self-sufficiency was her completion of the York  Technical College nine-week Culinary Workforce Readiness Program, a hands-on training  designed to equip participants with professional culinary skills, industry-recognized certification,  and the confidence needed to pursue meaningful employment. For Haylea, the program  represented more than job training; it was a turning point.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           When asked about the purpose of the program, Kimberly Massey, Workforce and Economic  Development Activator for York Tech, said: 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;i&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
            
              “The Workforce and Economic Development Department at York Tech offers short-term training,  certification, and licensure to help people find work or to advance in their work roles. Many people  think of the Technical College as the place that offers 2-year degrees, and we do, but our  department offers 2-week, 6-week, 4-month, etc. programs that meet the needs of our local  citizens and local industry. Quite often, in cases like Haylea's, people do not have 2 years to  become qualified for their next job. They need the knowledge and skills concentrated into a brief  time period and assistance connecting with workforce partners who want to hire them.”
             &#xD;
          &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/i&gt;&#xD;
        
             
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Like many individuals navigating difficult circumstances, Haylea was already taking steps to care  for herself and her family when she connected with local support services that helped stabilize  her life and make participation in the program possible. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           In a recent interview, Haylea reflected on a pivotal season that led her to York Tech’s program.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “At the time, I was homeless. I moved to The Life House Women’s Shelter,” she shared. “If it  wasn’t for Amber and The Life House, I wouldn’t have been in the culinary program.”  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Life House Women’s Shelter, located at Pathways Community Center in Rock Hill, provides  women experiencing hardship with access to safe shelter, meals, hygiene services, fellowship,  and case management. These essential supports allowed Haylea to focus on her goals and fully  engage in York Technical College’s training program.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Offered in partnership with Pathways Community Center, York Technical College’s Culinary  Workforce Readiness Program blends technical instruction with professional development to 
           &#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            prepare participants for success in the food service industry. Throughout the program, Pathways  staff worked closely with students to provide encouragement, accountability, and ongoing support.  
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “Mr. Taylor and Wanda support you in ways that I don’t think many people get supported,” Haylea  said. “If it weren’t for Mr. Taylor constantly pushing us to go and keep going, I wouldn’t have stayed  in the class.”  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           In the kitchen, Haylea trained under the guidance of York Technical College instructor Chef Teshia,  who challenged students to develop both their skills and their confidence.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “It was truly amazing to watch Haylea’s confidence grow, not only in the kitchen but in every  aspect of the program. At the start of the course, she was quiet and preferred to observe. By the  end of the class, she was confidently cooking and helping lead discussions,” Chef said.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Even while navigating personal challenges — including the loss of a family member — Haylea  remained committed to completing the program, supported by her classmates, Chef Teshia, and  Pathways staff. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           “Chef Teshia pushed us to the point where we knew we could do it,” Haylea shared. “She gave  us the confidence that we needed.”  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           On December 18, Haylea proudly received her white coat and Managerial ServSafe  Certification during a graduation ceremony held at Pathways Community Center, marking the  successful completion of York Technical College’s Culinary Workforce Readiness Program. “I  don’t overthink anymore,” she said. “If I set my mind to something, I’m going to do it.”  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           When asked what advice she would give to future students, Haylea offered simple but powerful  encouragement: “Just keep pushing through. Don’t give up. It’s easy to give up, but just  don’t.”  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Since graduating from the program, Haylea has been hired at Junior Varsity and will soon return  to the kitchen at Eleven 11 Steakhouse in Rock Hill — continuing the momentum she built through  York Technical College’s workforce training.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Her story highlights the impact of workforce education when paired with intentional community  collaboration. Through York Technical College’s Culinary Workforce Readiness Program — and  the vital support of partners like The Life House and Pathways Community Center — individuals  are gaining the skills, confidence, and stability needed to build lasting change.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           December was a powerful reminder of what can happen when compassion meets action. Across the Pathways campus, community partners, volunteers, and on-site agencies came together to spread holiday cheer while continuing to provide critical support and services. From meals and outreach efforts to moments of connection and care, the season was filled with hope, generosity, and meaningful impact.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Throughout the month, individuals received the resources they needed to move forward—whether through workforce support, housing assistance, health and recovery services, or simply the encouragement of a community that showed up for them. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Every act of kindness, every shared meal, and every collaborative effort reflected the heart of Pathways. Together, we closed the year by lifting spirits, opening doors, and strengthening the pathways forward for our neighbors and our community.

          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            From on-site agencies delivering essential services to community partners offering their time, skills, and compassion, collaboration continued to open doors and change lives. Across the campus, we saw workforce readiness strengthening, individuals securing employment, neighbors accessing housing support, and guests engaging in health, recovery, and spiritual development opportunities—all working together to move people closer to self-sufficiency.

           In November, 44 new individuals entered the Pathways system for the first time, bringing our year-to-date totals to 535 intakes and 946 referrals. In addition,

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           October also marked continued momentum for our Culinary Workforce Readiness Program, a partnership with York Technical College that is already expanding hope and opportunity through hands-on training, skill development, and clear pathways toward stable employment.

           September was a month overflowing with life-changing activity and impact across the Pathways campus. From on-site agencies offering critical services to community partners volunteering their time and talents, collaboration continues to transform lives. We witnessed powerful moments of progress—from workforce readiness and housing support to health, recovery, and personal development opportunities—all working together to move individuals toward self-sufficiency.

      <title>Walking My Own Path: Reflections on My First Six Months at Pathways</title>
      <link>http://www.pathwaysyc.org/firstsixmonths</link>
      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
    
          At Pathways, we believe everyone is walking on a journey. For me—as a first-time Executive Director and my first time working with an agency serving people experiencing homelessness—this has been a journey too. When I came to Pathways, I felt led here, even though I also felt unprepared. As a planner and Eagle Scout, those are feelings I don’t enjoy. But as I’ve settled into this role, I’ve become more confident that I am following God’s will for my life.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/cda5cb18/dms3rep/multi/IMG_3926.jpeg" alt=""/&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  
         Having worked in the nonprofit world for twelve years across the Upstate of South Carolina, I’ve partnered with many communities and agencies. Pathways, however, was founded on something truly special—collaboration. It’s a word we often hear, but genuine collaboration is rarely achieved. Here in York County, it’s different. While we’re not perfect and never will be, the willingness and intentionality to work together here are genuine and strong.
         &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          I feel blessed to be surrounded by like-minded people who care deeply about our community. I’ve made so many new friendships and partnerships, and I never feel alone in the work. I often receive—and make—calls just to check on others. That sense of mutual care and connection truly matters to me.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          After meeting with our board, partners, and community members, I realized I needed to get to know our guests on a deeper level. I’ve tried to be visible and present, but over Independence Day, I decided to “walk a day in their shoes.”
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          That 24-hour experience was one of the most impactful moments of my time here. I have never been homeless. I’ve always lived a middle-class life, and while I’ll never fully understand every barrier our guests face, this experience gave me a glimpse. From riding the bus and sleeping in a shelter to eating at a soup kitchen, I saw just a fraction of what life is like for our guests. Most importantly, I spent meaningful time with them—listening, learning, and letting them know they are seen and valued.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          With the support of the Pathways Board and our partners, we’ve been able to try new things. We hosted a job fair—something done before, but this time we focused on second-chance employers along the bus route. The results were incredible: 103 job seekers attended, and many found employment.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          That success sparked a bigger vision. We noticed three key things—there were available second-chance jobs, an unused kitchen during the day on campus, and a need to build job skills. From that came the Culinary Workforce Readiness Program, a partnership with York Tech and Chef Teshia. This program will help our guests develop workforce skills that can lead to stable employment and independence.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          We’re also preparing to launch a Volunteer Chaplaincy Program, where local chaplains will be on-site daily to offer a listening ear, encouragement, and spiritual support to both guests and staff. Alongside these efforts, we’ve worked diligently to strengthen campus safety and security through better processes and partnerships.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          The past six months have been a rollercoaster of emotions—joy and pain often side by side. Some days, we celebrate guests who secure jobs, move into apartments, begin a relationship with Jesus, or simply take a positive step forward. On those same days, we also encounter setbacks: a guest making a poor choice, a new arrival in crisis, or a facility issue on campus.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Every day is full of planned meetings and unexpected moments. We celebrate progress while wrestling with the ongoing challenges in our continuum of care.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Through this journey, my understanding of the need has deepened. Right now, our math simply doesn’t add up. On average, 45 new guests walk through our doors each month, and about 15 find their way to self-sufficiency. I once heard someone say, “All they need is a job.” At one time, I might have believed that. Now, I know it’s not that simple.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Every guest’s journey is unique, and many of their steps depend on factors beyond our control—paperwork, systems, and barriers that take time to overcome. But no matter what brought someone to our door, they are all God’s children, and we are called to serve them.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          As I reflect on these first six months, I am encouraged by the progress happening on campus. I am grateful for the new friendships and partnerships that have formed, and I am inspired by the resilience of our guests. My prayer is that I continue using my spiritual gifts to make a difference—that my actions reflect the Lord I am grateful to serve, and that others see and feel that I care.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Jesus’ words in Matthew 25 remind me daily why Pathways exists. We are called not only to meet immediate needs—to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, and welcome the stranger—but also to help people change their lives. I don’t want to simply meet people where they are; I want to help them move forward.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           At Pathways, we walk with each guest on their journey—meeting needs as Jesus taught us to do, but also helping them grow, heal, and find hope for a better tomorrow.

           A Recipe for Hope- Ingredients for a Brighter Tomorrow
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Recipe for Hope Luncheon was a powerful reminder of what happens when a community gathers with one shared mission: to walk alongside others on their journey toward self-sufficiency.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           More than 100 community members came together—not just for fellowship and a meal, but to celebrate the official launch of our Culinary Workforce Readiness Program. This initiative equips participants with hands-on training, life skills, ServSafe® certification, and guaranteed job opportunities—creating real pathways to stability and hope.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The room was filled with encouragement, generosity, and a shared belief that God’s love is made visible when we live and love as He does. The event marked the beginning of something truly transformative for those we serve—and a reminder of what’s possible when we come together to build pathways forward.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We extend our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, partners, and supporters who helped make this vision a reality. Your belief in workforce readiness and commitment to investing in people is what keeps this mission moving forward. Together, we are changing lives—one opportunity at a time.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           August reminded us once again that when we come together with shared purpose, real change happens. Through the dedicated efforts of our on-site partners, 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           eighteen individuals successfully transitioned into independent housing- our highest this year!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            Each transition represents far more than a change in address—it’s a bold step toward stability, self-sufficiency, and a renewed sense of possibility.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           And housing is just one piece of the puzzle. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           But impact is also found in the everyday—the shared meals, the quiet encouragement, the practical skills passed along in our Learning Lab, or the moment someone feels seen and supported. Let’s continue building a community where opportunity is accessible, dignity is upheld, and forward is always possible.

           Reflecting on July: Collective Impact in Action
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           July reminded us once again that when we come together with shared purpose, real change happens. Through the dedicated efforts of our on-site partners, 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           eleven individuals successfully transitioned into independent housing
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           . Each transition represents far more than a change in address—it’s a bold step toward stability, self-sufficiency, and a renewed sense of possibility.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           And housing is just one piece of the puzzle. In June:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            100% of participants achieved goals related to obtaining essential documentation
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            —a critical step on the path to employment, housing applications, and long-term stability.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Over 50% of clients working to improve their employment situation made measurable progress
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            , including maintaining current jobs, moving from part-time to full-time, completing job training programs, or securing new employment opportunities.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           But impact is also found in the everyday—the shared meals, the quiet encouragement, the practical skills passed along in our Learning Lab, or the moment someone feels seen and supported. Let’s continue building a community where opportunity is accessible, dignity is upheld, and forward is always possible.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

           Monthly Giving Moves the Mission Forward
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           At Pathways, real change happens when community members, partners, and donors come together with one shared vision: helping people move from crisis to self-sufficiency. That’s the power of monthly giving.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Your recurring gift—no matter the size—provides consistent support that keeps our collaborative campus strong. It allows on-site partners to offer vital services like housing support, job training, addiction recovery, and mental health care, all under one roof. It also ensures that the people we serve don’t just receive help—they find hope, stability, and a path forward.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Our campus has been full of movement, gratitude, and heart. From hands-on service projects to hot meals shared with love, community members have been pouring their time and talents into helping us create a more dignified, welcoming space for every person we serve.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           At Pathways, we believe true transformation happens when practical support is paired with hope. Whether it’s landscaping, light repairs, serving a meal, or partnering with one of our on-site agencies—there are countless ways to show up and make a meaningful impact.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           In partnership with SC Works Catawba, we are proud to host the Connection Job Fair at Pathways on Tuesday, July 29th—a day designed to do more than connect people with jobs. It was about walking alongside individuals on their journey toward self-sufficiency.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Throughout this month, there were opportunities to receive hands-on support in preparation for success. Partners provided résumé assistance and interview coaching, helping job seekers confidently present their skills and experiences. Thanks to the generosity of Oakland Baptist Church, attendees also had access to the Ministry Center for interview clothes—ensuring they had appropriate attire to feel prepared and polished.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           At the job fair, attendees can apply for jobs, connect with background-friendly employers, and even participate in real-time interviews. With job opportunities aligned to public transit routes, this event was thoughtfully designed to reduce barriers and provide practical, dignified pathways forward.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           June continued to remind us of what’s possible when we come together with a shared mission. Thanks to the coordinated efforts of our on-site partners, 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           nine individuals
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            successfully transitioned into independent housing. These aren’t just housing placements—they represent stories of renewed stability, hope, and forward momentum.

           And housing is just one piece of the puzzle. In June:

            91% of participants achieved goals related to obtaining essential documentation

    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Over 60% of clients working to improve their employment situation made measurable progress
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

           From Crisis to Stability—Made Possible by You
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When James first stepped through the doors of Pathways, he was worn down—by time, by uncertainty, by the weight of being unseen. Recently laid off, one unexpected car repair had spiraled into a missed rent payment. From there, everything unraveled. He wasn’t looking for charity. He just needed a path forward.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           At Pathways, James found more than a single service. He found a web of care. Because our campus is home to 14 nonprofit agencies working together under one roof, James didn’t have to bounce from office to office or bus stop to bus stop. In one place, he accessed support for housing, job readiness, food, and emotional care. That’s the power of collaboration—and your generosity fuels it.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           By giving monthly, you help sustain this life-changing model. You keep the lights on. You make the shared space possible. You let every agency focus less on overhead and more on outcomes.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Just $20/month can help someone like James move from crisis to stability—and from being invisible to truly seen. Your consistent giving creates consistent impact. Will you join us?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

           Thanks to the generosity of Bob and Sue Start, Pathways Community Center is home to a beautiful prayer garden—a thoughtfully designed space offering peace, reflection, and spiritual renewal for both guests and staff.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           At Pathways, we believe lasting transformation occurs when individuals are met not only with practical support, but also with a sense of hope. This garden serves as a powerful reminder that healing takes many forms. Every element of our campus is intentionally crafted to foster dignity, community, and holistic well-being. We are deeply grateful for this meaningful addition to our shared space.

           Our Welcome Reception with Taylor
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Your presence made the morning truly special as we gathered to reflect on where we’ve been, celebrate where we are, and cast vision for where we’re going. This reception marked more than just a warm introduction—it was a reaffirmation of our shared commitment to creating a more supportive, collaborative, and dignified space for those we serve.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           At Pathways, we believe real change happens when people come together with purpose. That’s exactly what this next chapter is about—deepening our partnerships, expanding our impact, and continuing to build a campus that works for everyone. From improved facilities to innovative programming and stronger wraparound supports, we’re excited for what’s ahead—and even more excited to walk it out alongside you.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you’re interested in learning more, getting involved, or scheduling a tour of the campus, we’d love to connect. Let’s continue building the future we all believe in.

      <title>Pathways Community Center Welcomes New Executive Director, Taylor Thomas</title>
      <link>http://www.pathwaysyc.org/taylor-thomas</link>
      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/cda5cb18/dms3rep/multi/437941909_10161331280365349_2758146448680864772_n.jpg"/&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  
         Pathways Community Center is pleased to announce the appointment of Taylor M. Thomas as its new Executive Director. With more than 12 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, Taylor brings a wealth of knowledge, a servant’s heart, and a deep commitment to building a stronger, more connected community.
         &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          A native of Chester, South Carolina, Taylor’s career has been shaped by a lifelong dedication to service. From achieving the rank of Eagle Scout to receiving the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award at Wofford College for his integrity and humanitarian service, Taylor has always led with compassion and purpose.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          His professional journey began with the Boy Scouts of America, where he advanced from District Executive to Assistant Scout Executive, managing programs and community engagement efforts across six counties. Most recently, Taylor served as the Marketing &amp;amp; Development Manager for Hospice &amp;amp; Community Care, where he directed outreach, donor relations, and community initiatives that uplifted and comforted families during their most vulnerable moments.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Taylor’s leadership extends beyond his professional roles. He currently serves on the board of the York County Council on Aging and is an active member of his church, where he teaches Sunday School and serves as Treasurer. He also provides full-time care for his aunt, exemplifying his belief that service starts at home.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Taylor holds a B.A. in Business Economics from Wofford College and is currently pursuing his MBA at Winthrop University.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          “We are thrilled to welcome Taylor to the Pathways family,” said Ben Ganson, Board Chair of Pathways. “His heart for people, strategic mindset, and commitment to collaboration align perfectly with our mission of reducing the impact of poverty and homelessness in our community.”
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          At Pathways, Taylor will lead the organization’s efforts to serve as a centralized hub for essential health and human services. By fostering collaboration among on-site partners, Pathways connects individuals experiencing homelessness or poverty with resources that support stability, dignity, and long-term self-sufficiency.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          “I’m honored to step into this role at such a pivotal time,” said Thomas. “Pathways is more than a place—it’s a lifeline. I look forward to working alongside our partners, staff, and community to make sure everyone has access to the support they need to thrive.”
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          With Taylor M. Thomas at the helm, Pathways Community Center enters a new chapter of leadership grounded in compassion, connection, and a bold vision for change.
         &#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           Reflecting on November: Collective Impact in Action
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           November was a month of powerful collaboration, showcasing the incredible outcomes that are possible when organizations come together. Through the combined efforts of Bethel Shelters, The Life House Cottage, No Sad Story Ministry, and The Haven Men's Shelter, 17 individuals transitioned from shelter to independent housing. These successes mean more than just finding a roof over their heads—they signify long-term stability, the ability to manage household responsibilities, and active engagement in the community and supportive services that enhance their quality of life.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Every month, our team gathers to review our collective impact, identify trends, and ask critical questions: What’s working? What needs improvement? These discussions drive innovation and strengthen our continuum of care, helping clients progress more swiftly toward self-sufficiency.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Impact often extends beyond traditional programs or services—it’s seen in the small but meaningful contributions of our community. Whether it’s sharing fellowship over a meal at House of Agape, volunteering time to cut hair or do nails, or teaching a professional class in the learning lab, each act of kindness and connection can transform lives.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Together, as a united community, we are stronger. Let’s continue to build, collaborate, and make a difference!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           October was a month of powerful collaboration, showcasing the incredible outcomes that are possible when organizations come together. Through the combined efforts of Bethel Shelters, The Life House Cottage, No Sad Story Ministry, and The Haven Men's Shelter, 17 individuals transitioned from shelter to independent housing. These successes mean more than just finding a roof over their heads—they signify long-term stability, the ability to manage household responsibilities, and active engagement in the community and supportive services that enhance their quality of life.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Every month, our team gathers to review our collective impact, identify trends, and ask critical questions: What’s working? What needs improvement? These discussions drive innovation and strengthen our continuum of care, helping clients progress more swiftly toward self-sufficiency.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Impact often extends beyond traditional programs or services—it’s seen in the small but meaningful contributions of our community. Whether it’s sharing fellowship over a meal at House of Agape, volunteering time to cut hair or do nails, or teaching a professional class in the learning lab, each act of kindness and connection can transform lives.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Together, as a united community, we are stronger. Let’s continue to build, collaborate, and make a difference!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

           Our recent fundraiser proved that Pathways Community Center and The Life House Women’s Shelter are truly stronger together, thanks to the incredible support from our community. The afternoon was filled with joy, celebration, and a shared commitment to collaboration, care, and community impact. Kathy Izard inspired us all, reminding us that every act—big or small—can make a profound difference in the life of someone experiencing homelessness. Together, we are collaborating for a better community! Thank you for your continued support, love, and dedication to the cause!

           We had a month full of impactful moments, starting with Elevation’s Love Week, where new benches and picnic tables were added for our clients and staff. SC Works hosted a successful Second Chance Job Fair. And thanks to Ms. Valerie with No Sad Story and Cry Out 2 Get Out’s inspiring partnership with the CAN Van to provide essential screenings for Hep C, HIV, and STDs. It’s been a truly action-packed month full of hope and opportunities!

           With a goal to raise $700,000, we need YOU to help make it happen! Your sponsorship or donation will go directly towards changing lives, with funds being equally shared between Pathways and The Life House. Together, we’ll empower more families, offer support, and drive real transformation.

           We've got some amazing stories to share with you this month! Every day, with the help of our fantastic on-site agencies, people are taking big steps towards building their own independent, bright futures. It’s not just about the big milestones, but also the small victories that are equally worth celebrating.

It’s not just about the big milestones, but also the small victories that are equally worth celebrating.

      <description>Here's the Latest at Pathways
February was super busy, and March is off to a strong start! We're nearly done putting in phase 2 fire sprinklers, fixing up the Auditorium for larger workshops, trainings, and job fairs, and making more room for the Bethel Day Shelter. Plus, we've got a fun fundraising event coming up in April. As Spring arrives, we're preparing for the new season and all the changes it brings. We're committed to ensuring safety, security, stability, and support for our on-site partners and individuals facing poverty.</description>

           In our journey to combat poverty and homelessness, we've learned that no one can do it alone. Collaboration is key, bringing together various agencies under the shared goal of guiding people toward self-sufficiency. This report highlights not just our collective efforts but the real stories of hope and progress.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The percentages reflected in this report signify meaningful progress for individuals on their unique journeys. Not every person requires assistance in each area, but any positive change, no matter the percentage, marks significant progress toward self-sufficiency and a better quality of life! We invite you to join us in celebrating these stories of transformation and progress.

           Pathways Community Center has taken a significant step towards accountability and data transparency by partnering with the Unite Us software. This integration of Unite Us ensures that every client who comes to Pathways receives attentive coordination of care and follow-up to meet their diverse and changing needs. This approach assists case managers and social workers in identifying which professionals are supporting each client, thereby preventing overlap in service provision.The monthly collective impact report clearly explains our united efforts in guiding clients toward self-sufficiency. Highlighting everything from educational achievements to employment successes, housing stability, and more, the report demonstrates the positive change we've achieved together, strengthening our community's socio-economic fabric. Stay tuned for our first impact report later this month!
