Find out more -- Tuesday, Jan. 22, arrive at 6 p.m. to enjoy a light dinner, presentations begin at 7 p.m. Meeting concludes about 8:30 p.m.

Everyone who would like to help end poverty in Oakland County is welcome. This is an interfaith project. No cost to attend Jan. 22 or to join Pathway.

Pathway to Self-Sustainability is a unique way to end local poverty permanently by helping families become financially self-sustaining. The Pathway Project identifies and helps develop non-profit services that achieve this goal with at least 80 percent of their families. Leaders from five organizations will present their services that meet the 80 percent success rate:  Lighthouse of Oakland County, South Oakland Shelter, KIVA, Rochester Area Neighborhood House and Catholic Charities of Southeastern Michigan – Hispanic Outreach Services. There will be an opportunity to sign up to volunteer to support specific services of these programs.

RSVPs are appreciated, but not required. Please put “Pathway” in the subject line and email stmasiak@hotmail.com to RSVP or for more information.
