Please help us Pack a Pack!

Every year at Pathways we strive to make the transition from summer to school year as easy as possible for our children and their families. Many of our school age children are in need of backpacks and the school supplies necessary for them to begin their school year. As the required list of supplies grows, many of our families find it financially difficult to purchase all of the items. We are currently looking for donations of backpacks and supplies to help everyone get off to school successfully! Click here for a complete list of supplies needed. Please bring your donations to Pathways for Children by Friday, August 24th. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Stephanie at 978-281-2400 ext. 154.

Capital Campaign Messages Mail to Businesses and Friends

This month, we are mailing to our business and corporate friends in our Cape Ann service area, asking for their help crossing the finish line of our $5.5 million capital campaign by December 31st. As of the publication of this e-newsletter, we have less than $500,000 left to go, which is very, very exciting. But, in a relatively short time, we need everyone's help to reach our goal. We are also mailing our summer newsletter - a special Campaign edition - later this month. Please contact us, or go directly to our website - there is a link from this newsletter - and support the campaign now with your own contribution to support the children. Every donation brings us closer to our goal!
Gorton's Volunteers to the Rescue
For those who have visited our site at 29 Emerson Avenue this year, you may have noticed the overgrown grounds especially along the street. However, thanks to Paul Soucy and a volunteer group from Gorton's Seafoods who spent Monday, August 6th chopping, cutting, pruning and shaping, our grounds are now in tip-top shape! Eleven volunteers worked hard before the rain set in to clean up our beautiful building. In addition to landscape work, they cleaned windows and playground equipment. Everyone was excited to see the transformation, giving our children, their families and staff a great sense of pride. Thank you Gorton's!
Have some free time and some business experience?
Pathways is looking for volunteers to help some of our self-employed parents who need assistance with complicated new paperwork requirements from Head Start. Your help will relieve the backup in our intake office and often decrease the wait time for a child to enter a program at Pathways. Please contact Stephanie Walters, our Volunteer Coordinator, at 978- 281-2400 ext. 154 or swalters@pw4c.org if you are interested in helping out.
