2007: Community Outreach Efforts
By 2007, Pathways Christian Fellowship began reaching out to community members, experts in poverty and rural issues, and people with lived experience to determine how their efforts could be focused moving forward. These community outreach efforts and surveys informed Pathways Christian Fellowship of the issues facing those living in rural poverty in southern Western New York – transportation barriers, limited healthcare opportunities, food insecurity, housing instability, and many more challenges that often go unnoticed and unaddressed.
