Poverty can be a tough hole to climb out of. That is why the Vincennes Salvation Army started the Pathway of Hope program.
It’s designed to help low income residents gain financial independence and get back on their feet. Through the program, residents meet once a week with Captain Laura Lunnam and a local social worker to set goals and start working towards a better future.
Captain Lunnam says it is a very intensive program.
“
Pathway of Hope started in Knox County last year, but there are already 10 families participating with more on a waiting list. Officials with other, local social service organizations have teamed up with the Salvation Army to help the families. For more information on the Pathway of Hope program, you can stop by the Salvation Army’s headquarters at the corner of 2nd and Minneapolis Streets or call 812-882-6933.
