Living on the streets can make a person feel like they are nobody at all. Everything we do at The Gathering Place is about helping the Guests feel like they are somebody. We believe that sense of self-worth is at the heart of recovery.

The Essentials

Warm showers, hot meals, clean clothes: Things the average person takes for granted, things the Guests don’t easily come by. But thanks to your kindness, we are able to offer hot meals, warm showers, and laundry services to more than 2000 people every week. Guests leave here feeling better than when they first arrived, and better equipped to face another night beyond our doors.

Dining Area

Hundreds of people arrive with empty stomachs. We fill them. From Monday to Friday, we serve breakfast, lunch and dinner in our dining area. As well as brunch on Saturday and Sunday. We have 3 chefs whose meals promote sustainable food use, local products and zero food waste.

Social Area

On the streets, the Guests are ignored and rejected. At The Gathering Place, they find a sense of belonging and acceptance. Our social area is a hub of activity, with Guests sharing stories, playing cards, reading, singing and more. This promotes healthy social behaviours, cooperation, and trust – values that can help them get their lives back on track.
