Community Resource Gatherings
Community Resource Gatherings bring neighbors, organizations, volunteers, and local resources together in practical, low-barrier ways.
These gatherings may include resource sharing, donation sorting, community education, mutual aid coordination, outreach, forms, referrals, conversation, and connection.
Each gathering may look different depending on current needs, available volunteers, partner involvement, weather, location, and community capacity.
What Gatherings May Include
Community Resource Gatherings may look different depending on the space, volunteers, partners, and needs present.
Resource Sharing
Sharing local resource links, forms, information, referrals, and next steps.
Donation Support
Sorting, organizing, collecting, or moving requested items when capacity allows.
Community Connection
Creating space for neighbors, volunteers, and organizations to talk, coordinate, learn, and support one another.
How to Participate
You can participate in Community Resource Gatherings in different ways.
You might attend to learn about resources, bring requested donations, help sort or organize items, share information, connect with neighbors, or support setup and cleanup.
Organizations, volunteers, and community members are welcome to reach out if they want to help with a future gathering, suggest a resource, or connect around shared community needs.
Before Bringing Items to a Gathering
Please check the Current Needs page before bringing donations so we can prioritize what is most useful right now.
Items should be clean, usable, and appropriate for community distribution.
We do not accept furniture.
Before bringing large quantities, food donations, or items that require special handling, please contact us first so we can confirm current capacity, storage space, transportation, or partner connection options.
We may not be able to accept every item at every gathering, but we will do our best to help useful donations move to the right place.
