Every person deserves dignity.On the very first day of our new Community Case Management program, our team met a man who had become stranded in Dallas after losing contact with his family. By taking the time to listen, working alongside community partners, and coordinating transportation, we were able to reconnect him with his loved ones and help him safely return home.  That moment reminded us why we do this work.Today we&#039;re excited to officially introduce Pathways to Dignity\u2014Oak Lawn UMC&#039;s neighborhood outreach ministry.Pathways to Dignity exists to help people navigate pathways toward stability, wellness, and belonging through compassionate relationships, practical support, and coordinated care. While rooted in Oak Lawn, this ministry responds wherever the need exists.We&#039;re grateful for the incredible team leading this work:\u2022 Patricia Proo, Outreach Manager\u2022 Rob Farmer, Community Case Manager\u2022 Victor Ortiz, RN, Community Faith NurseTogether, they&#039;re helping ensure our neighbors have access to meals, clothing, healthcare navigation, case management, identification assistance, housing resources, transportation, and so much more.This ministry is made possible through the generosity of grant partners, volunteers, and people like you who believe that every neighbor deserves to be seen, known, and loved.If you&#039;d like to be part of this work, we&#039;d love to have you volunteer, donate needed supplies, sponsor a meal, or support the ministry through a financial gift.Because sometimes the most important thing we can offer isn&#039;t a meal or a referral.It&#039;s walking alongside someone until they know they don&#039;t have to walk alone.\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition\"\n\tid=\"sbi_18051933359794745\" data-date=\"1783058936\">\n\t<div class=\"sbi_photo_wrap\">\n\t\t<a class=\"sbi_photo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DaUfQwVmgbB\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"\n\t\t\tdata-full-res=\"https:\/\/scontent-ord5-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t39.30808-6\/736290101_1447240484111910_8394790952629442307_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&#038;_nc_cat=106&#038;ccb=7-5&#038;_nc_sid=18de74&#038;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&#038;_nc_ohc=SGDdXgJV1v8Q7kNvwENWkL1&#038;_nc_oc=AdpRyxkigKExoVR2-6pKoo2PPCcGg0LMmBKZTkccsoBnSCU3Jo6mpjfJK1sAZvPRsfPm_j8Vvztbzr_lKmswteES&#038;_nc_zt=23&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-1.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&#038;_nc_gid=oDgQmlYc3SU6Zb825ymsGw&#038;oh=00_AQAbhgVPqcHUVrZcB_BqczfkYMM6K1DYbQqHeZ5RjxfZ2A&#038;oe=6A517CA1\"\n\t\t\tdata-img-src-set=\"{&quot;d&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-ord5-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/736290101_1447240484111910_8394790952629442307_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=106&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=SGDdXgJV1v8Q7kNvwENWkL1&amp;_nc_oc=AdpRyxkigKExoVR2-6pKoo2PPCcGg0LMmBKZTkccsoBnSCU3Jo6mpjfJK1sAZvPRsfPm_j8Vvztbzr_lKmswteES&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=oDgQmlYc3SU6Zb825ymsGw&amp;oh=00_AQAbhgVPqcHUVrZcB_BqczfkYMM6K1DYbQqHeZ5RjxfZ2A&amp;oe=6A517CA1&quot;,&quot;150&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-ord5-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/736290101_1447240484111910_8394790952629442307_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=106&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=SGDdXgJV1v8Q7kNvwENWkL1&amp;_nc_oc=AdpRyxkigKExoVR2-6pKoo2PPCcGg0LMmBKZTkccsoBnSCU3Jo6mpjfJK1sAZvPRsfPm_j8Vvztbzr_lKmswteES&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=oDgQmlYc3SU6Zb825ymsGw&amp;oh=00_AQAbhgVPqcHUVrZcB_BqczfkYMM6K1DYbQqHeZ5RjxfZ2A&amp;oe=6A517CA1&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/olumc.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sb-instagram-feed-images\\\/736290101_1447240484111910_8394790952629442307_nlow.webp&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/olumc.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sb-instagram-feed-images\\\/736290101_1447240484111910_8394790952629442307_nfull.webp&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sbi-screenreader\">A note from the Clergy Dogs - Coco Milly and Penny<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/olumc.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/instagram-feed\/img\/placeholder.png?w=1300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A note from the Clergy Dogs - Coco Milly and Penny want to let you know that they asked the staff to take off for some renewal this weekend.
