Our Welcome Reception with Taylor

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.

 

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.

 

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.

CCA 60th Celebration Luncheon


At Pathways Community Center, we’re committed not only to walking alongside individuals on their journey to self-sufficiency, but also to fostering a community of collaboration. We were honored to celebrate 60 years of impact with Carolina Community Actions, Inc. at their 60th Celebration Luncheon. From rental and utility assistance to early childhood education and workforce development, their work continues to uplift and empower across our region.

Housing Development Corporation of Rock Hill Ribbon Cutting 


We celebrated a powerful step forward with the ribbon cutting of two beautiful affordable duplexes along West Main Street—permanent housing designed for individuals transitioning out of homelessness. With rents set below Fair Market Rent, these dignified homes offer more than shelter—they offer stability, opportunity, and hope. Investments like this move us closer to a Rock Hill for all.

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.

Every number represents a life. Every life reflects possibility. And every partnership strengthens the pathway forward for our community.
