Something new is growing at The Gathering Place. 🌱

Guests are beginning to use Victory, a new indoor growing system, only made possible through our partnership with Aera Farms. This hands‑on opportunity supports food growth, skill development, confidence building, and a real sense of accomplishment.

When Guests learn, grow, and see the results of their work, it strengthens dignity and belonging.

Help us celebrate these early steps.

A quiet moment. A steady hand. A lot of care.

Every second Friday, one of our staff offers to paint Guests’ nails. It’s a simple act, but it speaks volumes about dignity, respect, and being seen as a whole person.

Kindness lives in moments like these.

When you support The Gathering Place, you help make space for care, connection, and humanity.

💙🩵🧡

Yesterday, community came together in a powerful way.

Three downtown charities worked alongside one another for a community clean up, helping care for shared spaces and showing what’s possible when we come together with kindness and respect.

Thank you to everyone from Choices for Youth, Thrive , and The Gathering Place, who gave their time and energy. Small acts, shared effort, and a whole lot of kindness make a real difference. 💙🩵🧡

🧴 Toiletries
👟 Men's Footwear (sizes 9+)
🧻 Toilet Paper

At The Gathering Place, the work we do goes far beyond cleaning a room or preparing a space. It’s about helping create comfort, dignity, safety, and a sense of home for people who need it most.

We’re currently hiring Custodial Workers, with both relief opportunities and full‑time hours available. Whether you’re looking for flexible shifts or more consistent hours, we’d love to hear from you.

This is meaningful work, done alongside a supportive and hardworking team with strong values and a people‑first approach. It’s not just housekeeping. It’s helping create welcoming spaces where people can rest and recover, for the day ahead. 🧡🩵💙

Mother’s Day can be a complex and emotional time for many.

This year, The Gathering Place created a free pop‑up store filled with a large donation of brand new soaps, candles, lotions, and more. Guests were invited to choose a gift for themselves, their mom, or a mother figure who matters to them.

Over 153 Guests experienced Mother’s Day with dignity, care, and kindness.

When you support The Gathering Place, you help Guests feel valued, respected, and cared for, one day at a time, so tomorrow is a little brighter. 💜🩵🩷
