Pathways is partnering with "SO WHAT ELSE?" to distribute food boxes to those in need in our community.

Every Thursday, from 10a-12Noon, you will see volunteers eager to help load FREE boxes of food into the cars of people who are struggling to feed their families.

Pathways is a distribution site for this extensive effort through "So What Else?" Inc to stamp out hunger in our community.

If you are in need or know someone who could use a helping hand, come to Pathways every Thursday - DRIVE THROUGH ONLY.
