We are deeply honored to receive the Excellence in Innovation Award - and grateful to be recognized for our ability to adapt and respond to the changing needs of the families we serve. 

The Bloomington Health Foundation has been a valued partner in our work, most notably through their support in embedding early childhood mental health therapy directly into our program. Their belief in early intervention and whole-family support has made a lasting difference in the lives of so many Pathways families. 

We also appreciate that this award acknowledges what many nonprofits know to be true: strategic decisions are rarely easy. But we lead with heart. We face challenges head-on, prioritize the mental health and dignity of our clients, and remain motivated - even in the face of tough news - to keep making the world better. 

Thank you, BHF, for standing with us. We're proud to do this work in a community that values compassion, innovation, and long-term impact. 

Stop by during Family Resource Center walk-in hours to get one-on-one support from a team member. Whether it’s tackling tricky forms, finding the right resources, or walking through our food pantry--we’re here to help.

FRC weekly walk-in hours are:

Katie Emery (Financials): Tuesdays 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Alysha Bell (Your Path): Wednesdays 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Jacky Perez (Basic Needs): Fridays 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm

*This service is available exclusively to current Compass ELC families. Walk-in hours will be held in the blue building next to Compass ELC.

**Walk-in hours will be hosted in the FRC building, the blue building, next to Compass

Please join us to enjoy a sweet treat with the FRC team after the Compass Open House! This will be your chance to connect directly with the Family Resource Center team and learn about our services that help support Compass families like yours. 

This will be located at the Family Resource Center (blue building) on Tuesday, August 5th, from 3:30 - 4:30. This event is only open to current and new Compass families starting in August. 

Both our Compass ELC and Family Resource Center are in need of diapers and wipes. If you are able to support us through a donation of these items please contact Jacky Perez, our Basic Essentials Specialist, at  jperez@btownpathways.org

We are always looking for volunteers to participate in My First Library each month. This entails coming in at 10:30 on a designated Friday to read a book to a classroom. We will provide the books and the children can take a copy home. If you want to be added to the volunteer list, please email Krissy at kbechtel@btownpathways.org.
