What is Pathway of Hope?
- An initiative to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty
- Addresses the root causes of poverty in addition to our history of compassionate serving
- Uses evidence-based interventions and measuring outcomes
The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope initiative marks a pivotal shift from treating the symptoms of poverty to preventing the epidemic at its root. By helping families overcome barriers like unemployment, unstable housing, and lack of education, we can break the cycle of crisis and vulnerability, leading families instead down a path toward increased stability and, ultimately, self-sufficiency – a Pathway of Hope that will profoundly affect generations to come.
Give now to provide a better future for children and help families regain stability in their lives.
Who is Eligible?
A family is eligible if:
- At least one child is under the age of 18

The Approach
Catalyzing community collaboration in service of shared clients
Bringing all The Salvation Army’s internal resources to bear, aligned to the goals of clients
