We’ve made Gatherings simple, meaningful, and easy to participate in. Here are answers to the most common questions from teams and organizations considering a Gathering.
No experience is required. Grateful Gatherings provides all supplies, tools, guidance, and support throughout the day.
Teams help unload furniture, assemble items, organize rooms, and prepare the home for the family’s arrival. Every task contributes to transforming the space into a home.
Most Gatherings include 10–25 volunteers, making them ideal for departments, leadership teams, employee resource groups, and company volunteer days.
In many cases, volunteers have the opportunity to participate in the family’s homecoming and experience the powerful moment when they see their home transformed for the first time.
Most volunteer experiences focus on a task. A Gathering focuses on a transformation. In just one day, your team can see the direct impact of their efforts as an empty apartment becomes a home for a family beginning again.
No matter your time, resources, or experience, there’s a meaningful way for you to help families begin again.
