150,000 Meals—and So Many Reasons to Be Grateful
During the 2025–2026 year, The Gathering served more than 150,000 meals to people in need throughout Milwaukee.
Behind every one of those meals is a community that believes everyone deserves access to a warm meal served with dignity and care.
This work simply would not be possible without the incredible generosity of the individuals, families, organizations, churches, businesses and foundations who support The Gathering. Whether you gave financially, donated resources, volunteered your time or helped share our mission, you played a part in putting those 150,000+ meals on the table.
As the need for meals continues to grow throughout Milwaukee, so does our gratitude for the community that continues to show up alongside us.
To every donor, partner and friend of The Gathering: thank you. Your generosity allows us to keep cooking, serving and welcoming our neighbors—one meal at a time.
