During this time of COVID-19, The Gathering Place is adapting its operations to ensure we keep the health and safety of Guests, Staff, Volunteers and the community at the forefront of everything we do. For us, that's meant some changes to our operations... /1

Switched to takeout food service
Continuing to provide Guests with 3 meals a day Monday to Friday, as well as Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. /2

Breakfast is available 8:00am - 9:00am, and Guests can get both their lunch and dinner for takeout at 11:30am - 1:00pm, Monday to Friday. On Saturdays and Sundays Brunch is served 11:00am - 12:30pm. /3

Restricting access to The Gathering Place, except for staff and essential services.
Operating without the help of Volunteers at this time.
Not accepting donations of clothing, books or goods for the time being (but please put them aside for a later date!) /4

Providing essential services to Guests remotely and only within a designated area of The Gathering Place.
Frequent cleaning and adhering to public health guidelines and procedures. /5

Working with partners across Government and the community to ensure a coordinated approach to housing and health and safety. /6

With these adjustments comes additional costs and resource requirements, so if you are able to help support our city's vulnerable community, please donate at http://KindnessWanted.ca/Donate . Thank you for your kindness. /7
