🌱 Pathways Is Growing—and We Need More Room to Serve!

Pathways Enrichment Center has been blessed to grow tremendously over the past few years. As the needs of our community continue to grow, so does the number of families we serve—and we have officially outgrown our current building.

We are beginning to explore opportunities for a larger facility or the expansion of our existing space. We need additional room for food storage, refrigeration, community programming, deliveries, volunteers, and the many services we provide throughout the year.

We are also seeking a dependable box truck to help us pick up food donations and bring more resources back to the families we serve.

In 2025 alone, Pathways served more than 48,000 individuals and distributed over 546,000 pounds of food. We are grateful for how we continue to expand our reach, and we believe this is the next step in our journey.

We are asking our community to help us make connections! If you know of:

🏢 An available building, property, or expansion opportunity
🚚 A dependable cargo van or box truck
🤝 A business or organization interested in partnering
💙 A donor or funding opportunity that could support this vision

Please send us a message, call 440-282-1109 or email [email protected]

This is about more than a building or a truck. It is about creating more room to serve, grow, and continue leading people to pathways of wholeness.

Please share this post and help us spread the word! 💚
