New Year & New Blessings

We are thrilled to introduce the new faces of leadership guiding The Gathering Place into 2025. Please join us in welcoming our President Joe, our Vice President Nikki, along with Alex, Blake, and Janette, our dedicated and passionate board members. Each of them brings unique talents and perspectives that will help us achieve our mission of fostering community, compassion, and nourishment.

2024 brought its challenges, especially for our kitchen operations. However, 2025 marks a fresh start—a growing season for The Gathering Place. Together, with renewed energy and commitment, we are determined to thrive and make a positive impact for everyone we serve.

In our prime year, we proudly served over 15,000 people in our community. Our goal for 2025 is to exceed that milestone, providing even more individuals with warm meals.

We’re kicking off the year with our first community meal of the year on Thursday, February 6, 2025, at 11:30 AM-1:00PM. This is just the beginning of what promises to be an incredible year. We are so grateful for the many volunteers who have already signed up to join us in this journey. Your time, energy, and support mean the world to us.

To our community—thank you for rallying behind us. Your encouragement and involvement remind us why we do what we do. We can’t wait to see familiar faces and meet new friends at our first meal of the year.

Here’s to a season of growth, togetherness, and transformation.

With gratitude,
The Gathering Place Team
