Gathering Place 1

The Gathering Place has launched their Capital Campaign in hopes of raising $800,000 for a new home at 1181 Cassells Street.

Executive Director Jill Clark says they are already over half-way there.

Clark says the need for the Gathering Place is bigger than ever.

She adds the announcement yesterday (Tuesday) by the Federal Government to put money into public housing is a step in the right direction to deal with food insecurity.

John Lechlitner says there is a need to serve more people in the community a decent meal every day.

Lechlitner is the Co-Chair of the Gathering Place Capital Campaign.

He says he wanted to be involved because of the importance of helping everyone in the community.
