Everyone wants to know that they matter. That the things they do have purpose. That they have something meaningful to give. At Pathways, students like Keith have the opportunity to experience that every week.

Our students regularly volunteer at the Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, helping pack food that will be distributed to people and families throughout our community.

They are putting their faith into action and being the hands and feet of Jesus by serving others.

And while the food they pack makes an impact, the experience means so much more.

Keith absolutely loves his weekly trips to the Food Bank. He loves being helpful and knowing that he is doing something that matters. But what he may love most is the opportunity to meet new people. Like Caleb, pictured above with Keith.

Each week, Keith works alongside members of his community, makes new connections, and shares his enthusiasm with people around him. He isn’t just volunteering in his community. He is an important part of it.

Our students are not only receiving support. They are giving it, too. They are contributing their time, sharing their gifts, building relationships, and making a difference in the lives of others.
