What We Do

At the Gathering, we provide 10 to 11 free meals each week, cooked on site at four Milwaukee locations, to those who would otherwise go hungry. We also offer services associated with ending hunger and homelessness and work to educate our community on hunger issues. We continued our services during the COVID-19 pandemic providing carry-out meal service to Milwaukee’s hungry and homeless populations. The Gathering will continue to serve carry-out meals to the hungry until it is safe again to serve meals indoors.
