Volunteer at our Events

As a valued member of PathPoint’s Heart 2 Heart (H2H) community, we are reaching out with an important update. On December 1, 2024, the program will be transitioning to a new home at Shelter Care Resources. We hope you will continue volunteering with the Heart 2 Heart Program and helping us serve families in astonishing ways!

PathPoint looks forward to working alongside the organization and program to continue serving foster/resource, kinship, adoptive, and birth families in Ventura County. As PathPoint and Shelter Care Resources work closely together to integrate the program in a thoughtful and strategic manner, our organizations recognize that we are truly stronger together! We truly cannot thank you enough for your service and dedication to the program and to the people we serve. The program would not be possible without your support!

Shelter Care Resources provides basic necessities and resources that promote health, well-being, and education to the county’s at-risk children and families. The organization operates a food pantry, a clothing and hygiene resource center, and a tech center for youth without broadband access. For more information, please visit: https://www.sheltercareresources.com.

Heart 2 Heart has been part of the Kids & Families Together Division since 2012. Over the years, the program has engaged in ongoing assessment of regional needs, impact, and sustainability. In recent discussions, it has become clear that the program can serve increased populations through a partnership with Shelter Care Resources, while continuing to overlap and partner with PathPoint’s Kids & Families Together Division. PathPoint plans to work hand in hand with Shelter Care Resources to refer eligible families and caregivers to Heart 2 Heart and continue connecting them to the support and essential goods that they need to flourish.

Is the program closing? 
No. Heart to Heart will continue operating, now as a program of Shelter Care Resources. PathPoint will continue to partner with H2H to connect the families we serve to the essential goods and support that they need.

How was the transition initiated? 
The transition was initiated after ongoing assessment about regional needs, impact, and sustainability. With those factors in mind, it became clear that Shelter Care Resources has the infrastructure and similar model necessary to help the program reach new populations.

Who will be running the program? 
Carrie McAuliffe and Jeni Futvoye, the current H2H Managers, will continue operating the program, though now as employees of Shelter Care Resources. Beginning December 1, 2024, their contact information will be: carrie@scroxnard.com, (805) 500-8959; jeni@scroxnard.com, (805) 263-7067.

What are the next steps?
On December 1, 2024, H2H will officially transition to Shelter Care Resources and begin operating as a program of the organization. PathPoint’s K&FT Division will work hand in hand with Shelter Care Resources to ensure that eligible families are referred and thus connected to the support that they need to flourish.
