Second Annual Homecoming Gala A Great Success
Over 250 guests representing a wide range of community, business, governmental, philanthropic and faith-based interests joined together in an evening of sharing and giving in support of the Pathways to Home Program. The September 24, 2011, event at the Holy Trinity Reception and Conference Center in Maitland featured live and silent auctions, entertainment, dining and a variety of lively presentations informing the audience about Pathways' progress to-date and plans for the future. The night was highlighted by a touching presentation by one of our client families and their heart-warming story of getting back on their feet with the assistance of the Pathways program. Pathways to Home is grateful to all the participants, organizers, and donors to the Gala and to all our Partner Agencies for not only making the event a success but for also being the heart and soul of the Pathways to Home Program and the creators of hope for all of our families.
Today's Challenge
At the end of the 2010-2011 school year, over 1700 Seminole County Public School students were homeless. We currently have no shelters in Seminole County where families can stay together.
All of our children deserve a stable family home life, one of the strongest predictors of a child's success in school and the foundation for both career and personal growth. Ensuring that Seminole County children have this opportunity for success is crucial. Today a Seminole County Collaborative known as Pathways to Home brings together Partner Agencies, its Board of Advisers, and an ever-expanding list of private and public supporters dedicated to pooling resources to end homelessness for families with children in Seminole County.
Our Focus ... families with children who are without permanent housing or are at risk of losing their housing.
Our Approach... assist families by drawing upon their strengths, experiences and knowledge to determine (together with case managers) what resources and support are needed.
Our Belief ... the best results come from an interactive process between committed families and coordinated agencies.
Our Goal ... self sufficient families in a stable home.
Join our social circle!
