Pathway of Hope - A Journey out of Financial Crisis
Every story of poverty is unique, and so is our approach to helping families overcome it. Pathway of Hope is The Salvation Army’s groundbreaking initiative dedicated to working one-on-one with motivated families seeking a new beginning.
Charles and Jessica are among those whose lives have been transformed through Pathway of Hope. After enrolling in the program in Southern Indiana, they started meeting with a case manager, Alecha, who supported them on their journey out of financial crisis. By identifying their family’s strengths, challenges, and needs, she leveraged every available resource to help them meet their goals.
Now, they are celebrating after purchasing their first home! Jessica reflects on their experience, sharing, “There’s no other people we’d rather have by our side. It’s been a journey, but it’s been wonderful and well worth it.”
The impact of poverty is pervasive, gripping families, neighborhoods, and entire communities. Among the world’s 35 wealthiest countries, the U.S. has the second-highest child poverty rate. Here in Indiana, one in seven people live in poverty.
Pathway of Hope focuses on three key goals:
1. Moving out of crisis
2. Increasing stability
3. Achieving self-sufficiency
Our mission is to break the cycle of poverty by addressing its root causes, including addiction, abuse, underemployment, education gaps, and language barriers. Through empowerment, we guide vulnerable families like Charles and Jessica toward stability and lasting transformation.
