The Gathering Releases 2025–2026 Annual Report: A Year of Growing Impact
More meals. Stronger partnerships. A community coming together to fight hunger.
We are excited to share The Gathering's 2025–2026 Annual Report, highlighting a year of extraordinary growth, meaningful partnerships, and continued commitment to feeding Milwaukee's hungry.
Over the past fiscal year, The Gathering served more than 150,000 meals to neighbors experiencing hunger and food insecurity. Behind every meal is a dedicated community of volunteers, donors, partners, and staff who make our mission possible.
This year's report celebrates the people and partnerships driving our work forward, from expanded community resources and new kitchen equipment to the incredible generosity of more than 2,000 volunteers contributing over 13,000 hours of service.
We also reflect on a special milestone: being named the 2026 BizTimes Small Nonprofit of the Year, an honor that recognizes the collective efforts of everyone who supports our mission.
As the need for meals continues to grow across Milwaukee, so does our determination to serve. We invite you to explore this year's report, celebrate what we've accomplished together, and see the difference your support is making.
Thank you for helping us feed the hungry, keep hearts full, and build a stronger Milwaukee community.
