Gathering For Women
Gathering for Women is a caring community…
- Where homeless women can get a hot meal, free clothing and some limited emergency assistance.
- Where health, mental health, and other service providers can connect with homeless women to offer them help.
- Where homeless women can learn how to keep themselves safe and healthy.
- Where the community can learn from homeless women about what they need.
- Where housing providers can connect with, screen, and place women into permanent housing.
GFW is taking all COVID-19 safety measures to ensure the safety of our guests, volunteers, interns, and staff. Social distancing is in place, masks are required at GFW. Other safety precautions will be given in the volunteer handbook.
Working with the homeless population, we face the risk of contracting an infectious disease, being attacked by a guest, and possible damage to personal property. In the event of an accident/incident that results in personal injury or property damage while interning, you must notify us as soon as possible. Immediately contact the Program Director or Executive Director and field instructor.
