Mardi Gras 2025

Board Members in Mardi Gras Photo Booth

Our 3rd Annual Mardi Gras fundraiser went off without a hitch! Everyone had a wonderful time that night. Participation from our volunteers, supporters and donors assisted The Gathering’s mission to alleviate hunger and address the root causes and related problems associated with hunger. We raised over $35,000 for Mardi Gras. Thank you for your contributions, time and support.

We have an incredible community of guests, staff and donors that came out in force to raise awareness and funds to assist us in tackling food insecurity. We appreciate you and applaud your efforts. We would like to thank everyone from the volunteers to the staff and the wonderful attendees that made this night special. The funds raised from this event will benefit our meal guests and all those we serve that are facing food insecurity. Please enjoy some of the photo’s from the festivities.

This year’s honorees are as listed:

Greg Johnson - Individual Champion

Mary & Rick Thickens – Distinctive Trailblazers
