Events
Come together
for Bloomington families
From auctions to food drives to holiday celebrations — Pathways events are a chance to connect with our community and make a real difference. All are welcome.
Paths to Prosperity Auction
Our annual flagship fundraiser — bid on incredible items and experiences while supporting families in Monroe County.
Get ready to bid for good! Our annual online auction goes live for five days each February, offering an exciting way to support local families while scoring incredible items. Past auctions have featured signed Indiana University football memorabilia, concert tickets, weekend getaways, and many more unique finds. Every bid helps strengthen stability and opportunity for families in our community.

These events happen every year and are a great way to get involved, bring your team, or simply show up for our community.
A community food drive hosted outside Kroger stores. Donors stop by throughout the day to contribute nonperishable food items for Pathways' pantry. A high-energy, community-facing event that raises thousands of pounds of food in a single day.
Compass Early Learning Center's beloved annual Halloween event for children and families! Decorated car trunks, a bounce house, costumes, and community connection. Open to the public — a fun, free family event that brings the neighborhood together.
Our annual Thanksgiving celebration invites all Compass ELC families to share a traditional holiday meal together. A warm community gathering that kicks off the holiday season — and a meaningful reminder of what Pathways is all about.
Dine out and give back! Join us at Culver's in Bloomington for a Share Night fundraiser. Every single purchase made between 5–8 PM benefits Pathways. Bring your family, invite your friends, and enjoy a meal that makes a difference.
Our annual summer food drive to help us restock our pantry during the busy summer months.
