The
Gathering Place
Our community. Everyone's home.
Your support toward The Gathering Place campaign will go beyond the bricks and mortar of a new building; it will be the foundation of our strong community.
It will provide a safe place for our community's children to play and learn, improve residents’ health, and boost employment. It will be a place for residents of all ages, races, ethnicities, incomes, backgrounds, and points of view to G A T H E R . And when people gather, they begin to seek to understand each other. |
