The
​Gathering Place

Our community. Everyone's home.
The Gathering Place is our campaign to build a beautiful community center for the Bridge Lake Point Waunona neighborhood and its surrounding Southside neighborhoods and fill it with life-changing programs and services.

This landmark for Madison’s Southside will ​increase the space from 5,000 square feet of converted apartments to 19,000 square feet with a gym, youth wing, commercial kitchen, and more. 

This $7M comprehensive campaign includes funding to expand programs to serve
20,000 community members through our food pantry, wellness programs, family resources, youth programs, and more.

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

And when people gather, they begin to seek to understand each other.
