We fight poverty with love
By providing programs that serve the body, mind and soul, The Salvation Army helps alleviate the symptoms of poverty - and works to address the root issues that cause it.
pathway of hope
Nearly half of all Americans will experience poverty in their lifetime. 2 out of 3 families in poverty have one or more family members employed. Children who live in poverty are 32 times more likely to repeat the cycle.
Pathway of Hope works to solve the problems of inter-generational poverty by guiding qualified and motivated families on a path from assistance to sufficiency.
"Pathway of Hope taught me there is no shame in falling down. The key is you don't have to stay down."
How we help overcome poverty
Through our Pathway of Hope program, we offer families access to a safe, caring network that focuses on assisting them as they work to rebuild their lives.
A caseworker helps them map out their needs, strengths, and goals. Then works with them to set up a plan for success. While the average family in the program takes two years to get back on their feet, many become reliant much sooner.
Families who enroll in the program are asked to look at the following areas:
H - Home - Does the family have safe, affordable housing? Are family relations healthy and supportive of one another?
O - Occupation - Are family members (adults) employed? Are they able to move to employment to earn higher wages?
P - Personal Growth - Are family members involved in the community? Do they have the skills to manage their resources well?
E - Education - Do Adults in the household have a High School Diploma or GED? Is there further training that could be pursued?
The only way out of poverty...the only Hope...is to be employed and take care of yourself. That is not to say that people don't need help occasionally.
Pathway of Hope provides a way to set goals and provide "coaching" to those who want to make a change...
