Gather
Program Type Description:
Food Insecurity Pantry and Mobile Markets
MISSION STATEMENT:
Gather‘s mission is to offer innovative programs that build food security in welcoming and dignified ways.
Notes:
Most recently, Gather was approved for an Environmental Justice grant for $350,000. Unfortunately the funding was cut. We do, however, we do consider this a success and are committed to continuing on our path. We are focused on feeding those facing food insecurity, and being a conduit through which systems change can happen organically and collaboratively with, and through neighborhood, local and state ecosystems.
