FINDING THE WAY BACK

“With God, all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26

Transform Lives Today

Haywood Pathways Center is a faith based 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization in Haywood County that provides adult and family emergency shelter, a short term residential program for individuals seeking life transformation, and a community kitchen providing meals to those living in the shelter and within our community.

Our services are open to residents of Haywood County regardless of age, race, gender, religion or nationality.

Haywood County Residents who are sober and drug free are never turned away for a short stay, but participation in the short term residential program requires the commitment to create and work on an individualized goal plan with our case management team which addresses 6 focus areas:

Income
Reintegration/Housing
Rehabilitation
Life Skills
Social Support
Spirituality

Haywood Pathways Center is supported by individuals, churches of all denominations, community organizations, businesses, private foundations and corporate grants who believe all people are God’s people.

Thank you for your support

Give Today!

We can’t do it without YOU.

As we work together to meet the needs of Haywood County’s less fortunate we depend on people like you to help achieve our goal of true life transformation. Whether a one time gift or a monthly partnership…Thank you!

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.

Myr-Ken Family Dorm

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!
