As the holiday season approaches, we invite you to join Family Pathways in spreading hope, joy, and connection throughout our communities. There are several ways to get involved and make a meaningful impact in the lives of local families this giving season.
🎄 Holiday Helpers
Each year, Family Pathways—together with community partners and generous business sponsors—helps hundreds of families by providing personalized gifts to local children (ages 19 and under). Our Holiday Helpers program brightens the season for families across Carlton, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Pine, and Polk Counties (WI), as well as the City of Forest Lake.
By coming together, we ensure that every child can experience the magic of the holidays.

💛 Year-End Campaign: “By Your Side”
From November through December, our By Your Side campaign supports the heart of Family Pathways—our Aging Services, Food Access Services, and Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Services. Through stories of resilience and hope, this campaign highlights how your generosity stands by those who need it most.
