Welcome to The Gathering Cass County, Inc.
Neighbors Feeding Neighbors
Welcome to The Gathering, where everyone has a place at the table.
Our mission is to provide nutritious meals and supportive services to individuals and families throughout Cass County in a welcoming, judgment-free environment.
Through our free community meals, meal delivery program, Community Fridge, and volunteer-driven efforts, we strive to strengthen our community one meal, one conversation, and one act of kindness at a time.
Whether you're looking for a meal, seeking a way to give back, or simply wanting to learn more about our mission, we're glad you're here.
At The Gathering, we believe that kindness matters, community matters, socializing is important, and no one should have to face hunger alone.
