The Salvation
Army’s Pathway of Hope
Helping Families Break the Cycle of Poverty
Pathway of Hope is a national Salvation Army program that
was started in 2011. Here in Toledo, we have been using the
program since 2015. The mission of the Pathway of Hope is to
provide enhanced services to families that are ready to take
action to break the cycle of poverty for their children and
generations to come. It is different than the other services
offered by The Salvation Army because it’s not a one-time
appointment with assistance, but intentionally working with
clients to move them from crisis and vulnerability to
stability and sufficiency.

Youth who live in poverty
for more than half of their childhood are 32 times more
likely to be in poverty as an adult. A goal of Pathway of
Hope is to solve this problem by addressing the root causes
of chronic, intergenerational poverty in the United States.
The Pathway of Hope is an approach to providing enhanced
services to families with a desire to take action to break
the cycle of crisis.
The Pathway of Hope
program is open to parents who are ready to take action to
improve their future and their child’s future. Pathway of
Hope is an intensive program that can be challenging for
families, but The Salvation Army team will walk alongside
the family for the duration of the program. The program
involves an initial meeting with the Pathway of Hope team to
develop a personalized action plan followed by meeting with
the team on a regular basis to chart your progress. At the
six-month mark, you will see how far you have come,
celebrate your success and figure out what’s next on your
journey. If The Pathway of Hope program is something you are
interested in for you and your family contact The Salvation
Army at 419-241-1138 for more information and to find out if
you qualify.
