Our Partners Sustain Our Mission
Educating the community about local hunger issues is central to our mission. Through educational presentations, facilitated discussions, outreach efforts, and volunteer engagement at community events and fairs, we work to raise awareness and inspire action. We are proud to partner with organizations across Milwaukee that stand alongside The Gathering to strengthen our collective impact in alleviating hunger and homelessness. By working in tandem, we extend our mission into new neighborhoods, deepen community understanding, and connect our guests with the resources and support they need.
