We can’t do it without YOU.
Thank you for helping transform lives. Your annual, quarterly, or monthly gift helps us continue our work and mission. For more information on how you can change a life call or email Mandy at 828-246-0332 or mandy@haywoodpathways.org.
We continue to need and accept financial contributions, but did you know we also accept everyday items that are used to meet the personal care needs of our guests. Please see our list for the most current requests.
We have seen lives transformed—through prayer, staff support, gifted volunteers and access to resources- such as individualized Case Management, life skills training and job search assistance. We strongly believe, with your help, we have a chance to make a positive impact on residents of Haywood County who suffer from homelessness. Our goal is to provide a hand up rather than a hand out.
The Myr-Ken Family Dorm finally opened June 21st, 2019. Thank you to the community and innumerable donors who helped make this dream a reality!
Become a financial partner through a one time gift, or reoccurring monthly donation. Every little bit makes a difference and goes directly toward our mission of helping those seeking life transformation learn to ‘break cycles and build foundations’.
Haywood Pathways Center is looking for volunteers to work with staff and guests at the Waynesville campus on Hemlock Street.
