January 19, 2021 Program

David Carikker is Director of Development at Pathways.  He has many years of leadership and development experience within non-profit organizations which include the Salvation Army and the Boys & Girls Club.

Dave gave us some background on the history of Pathways which started in 2013 when they flipped the prison.  In January 2015 the kitchen opened.  In 2017 Mandy Haycock came aboard and it went from being just an emergency shelter to a living facility.  In 2019 they added a women and children’s shelter. 

Individuals can stay there up to 6 months.  They must be drug and alcohol free.  They are held accountable to Pathways policies and procedures and are directed to set out individual goals.  There is also a program called Cold Grace where people can come in to the dining area have dinner. a place to sleep, breakfast, and lunch for up to 3 days.  Now there is a Holy Cow food truck which is a social enterprise venture to help support the financial needs of Haywood Pathways.  Needs are prayers, funding, and gifts in kind.
