Who We Are

 Pathways Community Center promotes collaboration among service providers, connecting those in poverty with resources that pave a path towards self-sufficiency.  Pathways is an intake and referral agency and houses essential nonprofits that help clients become stable and achieve self-sufficiency. All located in a former elementary school, on-site resource providers receive partnership and support from the Pathways team. We operate as a central hub, facilitating intake, assessment, referral, and resources to those who come through our doors. 

​

Our Community Center empowers a collaborative, rather than a competitive approach, working in synergy to reduce the impact of poverty and homelessness in our community. Working together, we are making a positive difference in the lives of our neighbors in need of support. 

 

VISION

To effectively reduce the impact of poverty and homelessness in our community. 

​

MISSION

To be York County’s single location, which promotes collaboration among service providers and connects people in need with those agencies to help them move towards self-sufficiency.

GUIDING SCRIPTURE

I was hungry and you fed me,

I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,

I was homeless and you gave me a room,

I was shivering and you gave me clothes,

I was sick and you stopped to visit,

I was in prison and you came to me.

 

‘I’m telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.’ - Jesus 

Matthew 25:34-35; 40 (Message Version)
