The 2025 Steps to Pathways Annual Breakfast Recap

The Steps to Pathways Breakfast is the signature fundraising event for Pathway Homes each year, and this year did not disappoint! Thanks to the support of our sponsors and individuals who gave generously, we raised over $150,000.

While we take pride in all the remarkable individuals who attended the Breakfast in support of Pathway Homes, we are particularly proud to present two exceptional Pathway Homes residents also in attendance. They have overcome significant challenges in their journeys toward recovery, are thriving in stable housing, and eagerly share the message that recovery and stability are indeed  possible.

Jason Sabbath from Florida and Joy “Michele” Bryant from Virginia gave not only their time and energy to speak at the breakfast this year, but they were also willing to share deeply private parts of their lives and recovery journey with incredible transparency while infusing a message of hope. Thank you, Jason and Michele, for sharing your stories. You are the reason Pathway Homes exists and why we remain committed to reaching more people who can benefit from our housing and services. We could not do what we do without you communicating firsthand the value of a housing-focused approach to changing lives for the better.

We would like to also thank our wonderful sponsors for making our annual fundraiser such a success. Steps to Pathways is a wonderful opportunity to raise the much-needed unrestricted dollars that government and private donations do not provide.

However, we are still $50,000 short of our goal. If you were not able to attend, or if you would like to help us hit our goal, you can still donate to support our annual fund.
