Gather
Ways to help | VolunteerVolunteers help keep Gather moving forward. We often need volunteers for the following: counting, sorting and stocking items for the pantry; Meals 4 Kids distributions and events; Meals 4 Seniors deliveries; assisting in on and off site food drives; outreach and fundraising event participation; holiday basket assembly and distribution.Office AsssistanceVolunteers help in many areas including entering data, answering phone and the preparation of mailing; and shift coverage for occasional pantry hours. |

How you help | Through its core programs, Gather serves more than 1,400 Seacoast residents each month, distributes 285,000 pounds of food each year and distributes food to approximately 500 children each week when school is out of session. We could not accomplish this without the help of our volunteers. |

About us | For 200 years, Gather has been serving Seacoast residents facing hunger. The agency was founded in 1816 by a small group of women committed to feeding the families of fishermen. Today, Gather is committed to ending local hunger through collaboration and leadership. Gather serves those in our community experiencing hunger by providing nutritious food through innovative distribution programs and our Pantry Market. We offer nutrition education and recipes for healthy living. We collaborate with community partners to address the root causes of hunger throughout the area. |
