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.

Need List

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.

Partnerships

Haywood Pathways Center goal is to partner with as many agencies within Haywood County as possible in order to get our guests the services they need that will allow them to return to independent living.

Transforming Lives

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.

Come Volunteer Today

Haywood Pathways Center is looking for volunteers to work with staff and guests at the Waynesville campus on Hemlock Street. There are many opportunities to choose from, with flexible hours and time involved. Adults 18 and older, or supervised older youth, from all walks of life and backgrounds are invited to apply.
