One of the questions we hear most often is:

“What does The Willow Path need most?”

The honest answer is simple: the everyday essentials that keep our shelters running.

In an average week, we typically go through:
• 100 laundry pods
• 40 rolls of toilet paper
• 20 rolls of paper towels
• 60 garbage bags
• 4 cases of bottled water

That equals more than $500 every single month in basic necessities alone.

While these items may seem small, they are essential to providing a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for survivors and families rebuilding their lives after abuse.

Would your business, church, office, civic group, team, or family be willing to adopt one of these needs monthly?

A monthly donation of laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, or bottled water may not seem like much — but to us, it makes an incredible impact.

If you would like to help support these ongoing shelter needs, you can:
Contact us through messenger or by phone 256-775-2600

Something extraordinary is coming to Cullman.

For one unforgettable evening, The Willow Path will transport guests beyond Cullman and into the heart of New Orleans through our newest Passport Series experience — Night in the French Quarter

This will not be a typical fundraiser. It will be an immersive experience unlike anything our community has seen before — rich music, atmosphere, elegance, storytelling, and purpose woven together into one unforgettable night.

But behind the beauty of the evening is something far more important.

Every sponsorship helps provide safety, shelter, advocacy, counseling, and hope for survivors and families across our community. Every table, every partnership, and every contribution helps create new beginnings for individuals walking through some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Sponsor opportunities are now officially LIVE.

We are currently seeking businesses and community partners who want to help bring this once-in-a-lifetime experience to Cullman while making a lasting impact through the mission of The Willow Path.

This is more than sponsoring an event.

It is helping create a night our community will never forget — while helping survivors find the path forward they deserve.
