Gatherings is run 100% from donations & volunteer power.

More about us…

Donate.

All the money donations stay right here and goes towards food, electricity, water, water, gas, and everything it takes to keep this place running.

Volunteer.

We run off volunteer power from our small surrounding communities. No one is paid to keep Gatherings running, including the chef.

Purpose.

Gatherings is here to provide a space for the community to come get delicious healthy food by donation! We know times are tough and want to make sure that there are options for people who may need just a little help.

Our mission

Whether you’ve lived in Dexter your whole life or you’re just passing through, we welcome you to join us for lunch, one of our events, or just help us by spreading the word, or get involved in the community. At our heart we are a Christian non-profit, and love of God and love for people guides all of our decisions. We don’t do it perfectly because we are all still people, and none of us have “arrived”. We have these six guidelines that everything we do should support.

  • Community

    We believe in building strong bonds of support between people; in Dexter and in the surrounding towns.

  • Friendship

    We believe in loving others, no matter what.

  • Service

    We believe in putting more into individuals, and our community than what we expect to get out of it.

  • Healthy Living

    We believe that a healthy body and mind are the building blocks for a useful life.

  • Turth

    We believe that we should always be promoting truth and integrity any way we can.

  • Faith

    We have faith that people can change for the better, that we can run on donations, and that we can provide healthy meals that taste good. We have faith in these things because, with God’s help, they are more than possible, they are happening.
