In Spring 2022, the food truck was reimagined from a strictly retail venture, and transitioned to a donation-based model. Meals are provided at no charge to anyone who orders a meal, but donations are accepted to support the operation of the food truck. The food truck is operated Tuesday-Saturday, providing lunch and/or dinner at various locations across Haywood County. Holy Cow serves a rotating menu of daily specials in addition to standard hamburgers and hot dogs. Drinks and fresh fruit are also available.</p><p>Haywood Pathways Center has always been dedicated to providing for basic necessities like food and shelter. But we never stopped there; we are committed to helping individuals rebuild their lives through guidance, empowerment, support, and the connection to needed resources. To that end, we developed and implemented our person-centered case management program in 2017.</p>
