THE PATH is a faith-based rescue mission located in Citrus County. Since opening our doors in 2001, THE PATH has been responding to the needs of men, women and children who are without a home by expanding its facilities and developing life-transforming programs. Serving Marion County since 2010.The Path is a local 501-c-3. In addition to offering safe shelter, food and clothing, THE PATH offers individualized case management to build skills needed to overcome addiction, develop a productive work ethic and transform lives so that, if willing, individuals and families can escape poverty and addiction. The goal is to reinforce individuals with the knowledge and tools to achieve self-sufficiency and graduate into the community with employment, a safe place to live, and for many, a reunited and strengthened family. There is no established limit on length of stay as long as programs meet the needs of the individual. The Path includes two bargain stores and 2 farms--a 15 acre farm where pesticides-free vegetables are grown nearly year round and a 10-acre fruit-tree farm. In addition to providing benefits for our community, these social enterprises provide work therapy, job retraining, employment and helps fulfill community service hours.
