“We’re excited to serve as a bronze-level sponsor for Pathways Vermont’s annual fundraising breakfast,” Community Bank N.A. Commercial Banking Officer David Blow said. “This event draws more than 200 guests and is a crucial fundraiser for the organization. The funds raised at this event will ensure Pathways Vermont is able to continue the important work it does in our community.”
Pathways Vermont was founded in 2009 with funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to implement a Housing First program, the first of its kind in a rural setting. Since then, it’s expanded its services for Vermonters experiencing homelessness by launching its Supportive Services for Veteran Families program and creating community mental health initiatives, including the Pathways Vermont Support Line and the Pathways Vermont Community Center.
“This donation from Community Bank allows Pathways Vermont to continue to provide our person-centered services to Vermonters most in need,” Pathways Vermont Development Director Patrick Gallagher said. “We are truly grateful to Community Bank's commitment to our mission.”
