Our Impact
From the CEO
In 2024, our organization shifted from survival mode to thriving, strengthening our foundation and launching as Pathways Kitchen.
We proudly served over 45 youth and 2,100 meals, prioritizing quality over quantity to create transformative internships. Our programming is dedicated to empowering youth to confidently chart their unique paths to success, focusing on real, lasting impact instead of financial gain—and we’re already seeing the results.
Pathways Kitchen is thriving—and so are our young people. Thank you for being a partner in our journey, supporting both our challenges and triumphs. Together, we’re excited to pave even more paths to success in 2025!
Our 2024 Impact
Our program has three primary components designed to help each young person chart their own path forward. In addition to a training and development program, we offer individualized success navigation and living wage culinary work opportunities.
“My path looks like me pushing myself and the others around me to be the best we can be our future is bright and will continue to become brighter as we improve upon our lives.”
The kitchen is our classroom, but it is only the beginning.
“My path looks like success, not as in life but with myself...I will be happy and focused, and I will succeed with acceptance and accepting disappointments and bad times and make them sunny...I see my path being very very bright and just how I would want it .”
2024 Financials
Pathways Kitchen combines earned revenue from catering, events and food product sales with community philanthropic support to deliver its services. Everything we do relies on our generous community, and we are grateful to everyone who donated, supported catering or purchased a Thrive Meal. Your support makes our transformational work possible. Thank you!
