On behalf of Pathways, we want to say a big thank you to I Support the Girls - Bloomington for the generous donation of feminine hygiene supplies! We would also like to thank Cook Medical and In Bloom Physio for hosting the feminine care drive!

We’ve officially passed $24,000 on our way to our $60,000 goal by April 30—and that momentum is already making a real difference.

At Pathways, impact isn’t abstract. It looks like:
• A parent saying yes to a better job because they have a safety net
• A family avoiding a financial setback that could have spiraled
• A child continuing in high-quality early learning without disruption

This is what happens when a community invests in families who are working hard to move forward, and just need the right support at the right time.

We’re proud of this progress, but we’re not done yet. The next stretch matters.

Help us keep going.

For years, finishing his degree felt just out of reach for single dad, Jason. There was always something...work, bills, raising a family...that had to come first.

This spring, Jason registered for his FINAL class.After years of starting and stopping, he’s finally at the finish line—and his future looks different because of it. That’s what your support makes possible.

At Pathways, we walk alongside families who are doing everything right—but still face barriers that can stall their progress. Sometimes, it’s not about effort. It’s about access, timing, and having someone in your corner when it matters most.

This spring, you can help turn “almost” into “finished.” Help us raise $60,000 by April 30! Because when a parent reaches their goals, it changes the trajectory for their entire family.

Join us in building pathways to stability, opportunity, and long-term success! Give now: http://www.btownpathways.org/donate

We’ve officially crossed our first fundraising milestone of 2026...and it’s a big one!

Because of this incredible community, Pathways has raised $249,237.55 so far this year.

That number represents more than dollars. It represents:
• Families staying stable when life throws the unexpected
• Children accessing high-quality early learning
• Parents building real pathways toward financial security

We’re proud of this moment, but we’re not slowing down. Every dollar moves a family closer to stability and opportunity, and there’s a lot more work ahead.

Thank you for believing in this mission and showing up in such a powerful way. Let’s keep going.

Every family’s path toward stability looks different.

At Pathways, support might look like:

👩‍👧 A parent enrolling their child in early learning so they can work
🥫 A family visiting the pantry to make it through the week
💡 Emergency help to keep the lights on after a medical bill

But every path begins with someone believing that stability is possible.

Help us support families in our community.

Behind every program at Pathways is a real family working hard for a better future.

Sometimes the difference between falling behind and moving forward is:

• childcare that allows a parent to work
• groceries that stretch the budget
• a mentor who helps set financial goals

🌱 Help us reach $60,000 by April 30.
