Does your church have a choir, worship band, or gospel group?

We would love to welcome you to Haywood Pathways Center.

We are always looking for local churches and worship groups willing to come share the gift of music with our campus. Whether it is a worship night, gospel concert, acoustic set, choir performance, or simple evening of praise, your music can bring joy, encouragement, and life to our residents.

Outdoor and indoor concerts are welcome.

Music has a way of lifting spirits, building community, and reminding people they are not alone. If your church is looking for a meaningful local mission opportunity, this is a beautiful way to serve.

Come share the music of the Gospel with our campus.

Help us fill this campus with hope, fellowship, and song.

Tomorrow from 3:30–6:30 PM, Haywood Pathways Center is hosting a Fish Fry and inviting the community to come see the new outdoor kitchen area made possible by the Rotary Club.

This project started as a simple conversation between our chef and a Rotary member — and quickly became a donated project that will help us serve meals, build community, and create more meaningful gathering space on campus.

We are so grateful for the work, generosity, and partnership that brought this outdoor kitchen area to life.

Come enjoy a meal.
Come walk the campus.
Come see the work of Haywood Pathways Center up close.

Become the reason this work continues.

Every day at Haywood Pathways Center, lives are being stabilized one step at a time.

Three meals a day for residents.
A safe bed for someone experiencing their first night indoors in years.
A family finding room to breathe again.
A caseworker helping someone take the next step toward housing, employment, recovery, and independence.

This kind of work does not happen once.

It happens every day.

And that means it needs steady, reliable support behind it.

Monthly donors help create that foundation.

When you become a monthly donor, you are not just giving to a shelter. You are helping sustain the daily care, meals, staffing, and support that make transformation possible on our campus.

You become part of the momentum.

Part of the stability.

Part of the change.

If you believe in the work happening at Haywood Pathways Center, become a monthly donor today.

Your consistent support helps us keep showing up for our neighbors, day after day.

Be part of the momentum.

Introducing Pathways To-Go.

While the Holy Cow Food Truck takes a much-needed pause for repairs, Haywood Pathways Center is working to make sure meals are still reaching neighbors in some of our more remote communities.

Using the Manna van, we are launching Pathways To-Go to continue serving warm meals across Haywood County.

Current meal sites include:

Wednesdays: Fines Creek Community Center
Thursdays: Cruso United Methodist Church

Each meal service allows us to serve 20+ warm meals to neighbors who may not have easy access to food or transportation.

But we need volunteers to make this possible.

We are looking for people willing to help us reach into these communities, serve meals, and continue showing up for our neighbors while Holy Cow is being repaired.

If you have been looking for a meaningful way to serve locally, this is a powerful place to start.

Email: [email protected]
Call: 828-470-7315

Holy Cow may be resting, but the mission is still moving.

Help us keep meals reaching Haywood County.

We’re looking for local churches who would be willing to welcome our residents on Sunday mornings.

Some of our residents would love the chance to attend church, but transportation can be a barrier. If your church is interested in inviting residents from our campus and helping with transportation, we’d love to hear from you.

This could be a simple but meaningful way to build relationships, offer encouragement, and help our residents feel connected to the wider community.

Tonight, 31 men will sleep safely at Haywood Pathways Center.

Tomorrow, the final available bed in our men’s dorm will be filled.

That means our men’s shelter will officially be at capacity.

This work matters deeply to Haywood County.

It means 31 people are not sleeping outside tonight.
31 people have stability.
31 people have a safe place to rest, regroup, and begin moving forward.

At Haywood Pathways Center, we are more than a shelter. We are a place where people can take the next step toward rebuilding their lives with dignity, structure, and support.

And right now, our community’s support matters more than ever as we continue serving at full capacity.

Every donation helps sustain shelter, meals, staffing, and the daily care that keeps this work moving forward.

Through May 15, every gift is being matched dollar-for-dollar up to $35,000.

Donate today:
