About Gathering for Women

Gathering for Women is a safe haven and wonderful establishment that provides essential services to women. It offers hot meals, hot showers, a place to receive mail, and a clothing closet with shoes and personal hygiene products. The atmosphere is friendly and the staff is helpful. The food is great, healthy, and delicious. Women can also access activities, art expression, and special offerings like laughing yoga on Wednesdays and foot massages. The organization provides case management, described as compassionate and kind, which helps women find their footing on a path back to self-sufficiency. However, some reviews note that case management is not as available as it should be for the need, with intake sometimes operating on a challenging first-come, first-served basis. While the services are a balm and life savers for many, some feedback mentions that the holiday season can be disappointing and that increased community donations would allow them to do more. There is also a request for donations of both dog and cat food. A few personal opinions express a desire for only women volunteers. Overall, it is a safe place where women are truly grateful for the help and support received.
