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. Our model eliminates barriers to client success by providing one-stop access to essential resources.
Our Community Center empowers a collaborative, rather than a competitive approach, working together to reduce the impact of poverty and homelessness in our community. Collectively, we are making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve.
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.
OUR 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)
