Helping the 

Homeless &

Hungry

Building bridges between communities fuels the work we do at Gather for Good. In that spirit, we hope to expand the opportunity for meaningful exchange between the housed and the homeless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


MIDNIGHT RUNS FOR THE HOMELESS

 

We believe efforts to support and empower homeless and hungry individuals should extend beyond the holiday season, so we're heading to Manhattan to bring much-needed supplies to our brothers and sisters during Midnight Runs in NYC throughout the year. "That human exchange, rather than the exchange of goods, is the essence of the Midnight Run mission."
