A community's children are its greatest resource, and thanks to Pathways, hundreds of children from Gloucester, Rockport, and Ipswich continue to have a safe, nurturing place to be while their parents are working, each and every day. The staff and teachers are committed to continuing to provide the children in our care the very best out-of-school experience possible, but we can't do it without the help of our volunteers and supporters.

Included in the recently passed "bailout" legislation from Congress was the reinstatement of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 allowing individual retirement account (IRA) owners 70 1/2 years or older to directly transfer tax-free, up to $100,000 per year directly to Pathways. Please contact your financial advisor to see if this would benefit you.

 

Thanks to a grant through The Open Door Food Pantry, Pathways families have been able to access a wonderful array of fresh produce weekly at Pathways since July. 
 

The grant was scheduled to end with all the 'fixins for a Thanksgiving dinner in November, but we have just learned that it will continue through the winter. See full article below.
