PURPOSE: After more than a decade of transformational work in the community through Path-way of Hope, this document provides a cohesive national framework for consistency that identifies three Pillars of Success: Culture, Impact and Sustainability as The Salva-tion Army forges ahead in the alleviation of poverty.

VISION: Families are welcomed and encouraged through The Salvation Army Pathway of Hope initiative to break the cycle of crisis and vulnerability, and intergenerational poverty.  Through a strengths-based lens infused with hope and pastoral care, families are em-powered to address their root causes of poverty.  Every Pathway of Hope team recognizes the culture, impact and sustainability pillars requisite to effectively meet the mission of The Salvation Army.
