Monthly Giving Moves the Mission Forward

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.

 

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.

Hope in Action

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.

 

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.

 

Interested in lending your hands or heart to the work? We’d love to connect you to a project or opportunity that fits.

Opportunities for Upward Mobility

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.

 

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.

 

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.

Reflecting on June: Collective Impact in Action

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, nine individuals successfully transitioned into independent housing. These aren’t just housing placements—they represent stories of renewed stability, hope, and forward momentum.

Reflecting on June: Collective Impact in Action June reminded us once again that when we come together with shared purpose, real change happens. Through the dedicated efforts of our on-site partners, nine individuals successfully transitioned into independent housing . 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. And housing is just one piece of the puzzle. In June: 91% of participants achieved goals related to obtaining essential documentation —a critical step on the path to employment, housing applications, and long-term stability. Over 60% of clients working to improve their employment situation made measurable progress , including maintaining current jobs, moving from part-time to full-time, completing job training programs, or securing new employment opportunities. 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.

From Crisis to Stability—Made Possible by You 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. 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. 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. 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?
