Pathway Caring For Children

Pathway Caring For Children Pathway Caring for Children's mission is to help children and families realize the possibilities of through foster care, adoption, and counseling.

The staff members, volunteers, and foster parents of Pathway seek to make real seven basic ideals in the lives of the children who come to us. Most important, we love and care for each youth individually. We recognize them as persons and teach them to respect themselves and others; provide them with security of knowing that we are here for them; help them find the paths of success in school, work and social relationships; encourage them in the assumption of responsibility for themselves and their actions; and become personally involved with them in their struggle for meaning and purpose in life.

Because Healing Takes a Village. At 15, James was facing addiction and deep pain. But his aunt and uncle stepped in, becoming Pathway foster parents—and his safe haven.
Today, he’s helping raise his baby brothers. He’s healing. And it’s because people like you said yes.

🧡 This Giving Tuesday, give the gift of second chances, connection, and stability.

Real stories this Helping Kids Feel Safe Again. Caleb came to preschool with clenched fists and silent tears. After surviving chaos at home, he pushed the world away—until Pathway’s Early Childhood Mental Health team stepped in.
Now, he’s learning to feel safe, connect with others, and smile again. 💛

It's and Healing Starts with Safety. When Lacey arrived at TRUST Camp, she barely spoke. By week’s end, she was laughing by the fire, roasting s’mores, and answering to a new nickname: “Chatty Cathy.”
✨ Because of you, camp gave her more than fun—it gave her a safe place to heal.
🧡 This Giving Tuesday, will you give help more kids like Lacey rediscover their voice and learn to trust?

Our Story

Founded in 1973 by Jim and Velma Bridges Pathway Caring for Children is a private, non-profit social service agency. Our mission is to empower children and families to realize their potential and achieve the possibilities of their lives through innovative mental health, foster care, and adoption services.

The staff members, volunteers, and foster parents of Pathway seek to make real seven basic ideals in the lives of the children who come to us. Most important, we love and care for each youth individually. We recognize them as persons and teach them to respect themselves and others; provide them with security of knowing that we are here for them; help them find the paths of success in school, work and social relationships; encourage them in the assumption of responsibility for themselves and their actions; and become personally involved with them in their struggle for meaning and purpose in life.
