40+ Years of Community Service
Pathway, Inc. (Pathway Toledo) is a Community Action Agency that has been serving Lucas County, Ohio for over four decades. Founded on the belief that every family deserves the opportunity to achieve self-sufficiency, we have grown from a small neighborhood organization into a comprehensive social services agency serving thousands of families each year.
As a designated Community Action Agency, we receive federal and state funding to administer critical programs including the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), emergency rental assistance, and employment training services. We also partner with local organizations, businesses, and government agencies to maximize our impact.
Our three core departments — Community Resources, Employment and Career Services, and Family and Supportive Services — work together to address the interconnected challenges that families face on their path to self-sufficiency. We believe in treating every person who walks through our doors with dignity, respect, and compassion.
