Through December 31, 2024, donations to Community Action's Gathering Place will be matched $1 for $1.
For over 40 years, many of your neighbors experiencing hunger have visited Community Action’s Gathering Place to enjoy a warm, homemade meal.
In 2024, demand for the Gathering Place's services reached an all-time high.
- We provide meals to over 200 people per night.
- We consistently serve over 4,000 meals a month, breaking all past records of service.
- In the last 12 months, we've served over 55,000 meals.
- This work equals a 27% increase over our 2023 numbers.
With the generous support of people like you, we've been able to meet this need.
Yet, the need for the Gathering Place's services continues to grow.
To keep pace with the need, we've made our fundraising goal for 2024 to be $225,00.
You can help us meet this goal.
Yet you won't be acting alone.
Through December 31st, your gift will be matched 1:1, thanks to generous support from this year's lead sponsor, Acklie Charitable Foundation, and additional sponsors. This is the most impactful time to support the Gathering Place.
And, it is for a most impactful reason. "It just brings so much hope," said a Gathering Place guest, while slowly enjoying his cup of hot coffee. "I've seen so many people, they're all trying to better their lives and just LIVE life, and I think that a very important thing."
With a gift to Community Action's Gathering Place, you make this support possible. You bring the kind of HOPE found in
...a good meal after a long day.
...time at the table with a few good friends.
...a warm cup of coffee before the short walk in the dark you must take next.
...and so much more.
Everyone deserves a hot meal, and somewhere that makes them feel hope, feel welcomed, and feel peace.
Thank you for considering a gift to Community Actions' Gathering Place as a way to nourish and enrich the lives of your neighbors.
