PATH

 People Attempting To Help (PATH), launched its mission in 1985 to serve hardworking East Texas families with compassion and support during difficult times.

PATH continues to serve as a vital bridge between the generosity of individuals with abundant resources and struggling neighbors in need. Each year, PATH volunteers and staff embody their faith by serving over 25,000 individuals from Smith County and surrounding areas through personalized programs and services. Every person seeking assistance meets privately with a Case Worker trained to listen, provide encouragement, and connect families to resources—whether through PATH or other community partners.
